Izraelita katonák az Osztrák-Magyar Monarchia hadseregében, különös tekintettel az első világháború harcaira

Absztrakt

Throughout Europe for centuries, Jews were considered unfit for military service and spies. In the Austrian Empire for them, even entering the territory of the military fortifications was forbidden. They could not be accepted into the army. However, the world began to change, the equal rights of the Jews took place in the nineteenth century. At that time, they could already undertake professional military service and were also effected by military conscription. I present this process in my article. I deal separately with the difficulties of practicing the Jewish religion and the provision of Jewish ritual meals in the army. I also deal with Baron Samu Hazai, who became a Christian and ranked the highest military rank. He was the Minister of Defense of Hungary for years. Finally, I will briefly mention some of the monuments of the First World War, that can stll be seen in Hungary today.
