List of Hungarian Jews
When editing the page, did you look at the following sentence at the beginning:
 * When adding names to the list, please include a reliable source that explicitly describes the person added as "Jewish" or "Hungarian Jewish" (or a source where the person describes themselves as such) - not their father, mother, etc., in accordance with the No Original Research policy.

Unless you add reliable sources to those names you added recently, they will be removed from the page. Kope (talk) 21:09, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

History of the Jews in Hungary
Hi Durum, I saw that you have changed some statistical numbers in the "History of the Jews in Hungary" article. Could you please provide some references (sources) for them, i.e., where do your numbers come from? Cheers, K &oelig;rte F  a   { ταλκ }  03:34, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

The additional source I found was Magyar Statisztikai Szemle, years 1941-1944.Durum (talk) 08:03, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks and no problem. It might be good to put reference tags, i.e.,, next to the numbers (or to the column headers), so then everybody could see where do the numbers come from. Cheers,  K &oelig;rte F  a   { ταλκ }  08:35, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Survival rates of Hungarian Jews in countryside
Hi, I found your section on History of Jews in Hungary quite helpful.

“A Jew living in the Hungarian countryside in March 1944 had a less than 10% chance of surviving[1] the following 12 months.[citation needed] In Budapest, a Jew's chance of survival of the same 12 months was about 50%.”

￼ I had heard this elsewhere in 2008, but cannot find a source. I am writing a book on my survivor family and the Holocaust, so need to verify all my citations. I reached out to a history prof and he suggested, based on the figures in Braham's book, that the figure was likely ~18%.

Some of my family was in Debrecen, with a higher survival d/t the Strasshoff trains. Most of my family were from villages.

If you have any other resources, I would greatly appreciate your help. Also, if you haven't seen it, I'd recommend Peter Haye's book, "Why? The Holocaust Explained."

Thanks, and best wishes.
