Abstract
Abstract The founder of the Hungarian pharmaceutical industry, Gedeon Richter, and a pioneer of incandescent lamp research and industry, Imre Bródy, were among the victims of the Hungarian Holocaust. Hungary enacted its first anti-Jewish legislation as early as 1920, severely limiting the number of Jewish students at its universities. During the quarter-century period between the two world wars, Jews did not receive professorial appointments and were not elected to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Nicholas Horthy’s anti-Semitic regime enacted harsh anti-Jewish legislation in the late 1930s and early 1940s, followed by the physical annihilation of more than half a million Hungarian Jews in 1944. There are moving memorials to the Hungarian Holocaust, to Raoul Wallenberg, Gábor Sztehlo, and others who saved Jews and among them future luminaries of science. Alas, there are no specific memorials of the scientist-martyrs of the Holocaust.
