Erno Munkácsi (1896-1950) was a Hungarian jurist and writer, general counsel of the Israelite Congregation of Pest, and Director of the Hungarian Jewish Museum. In 1944, during the Nazi occupation of Hungary, he was forced by the Nazis, along with other leaders of Budapest's Jewish community,[1] to serve as secretary for the Hungarian Jewish Council or Judenrat.[2] He is best known today for his 1947 memoir Hogyan történt?, published in English by McGill-Queen's University Press as How It Happened: Documenting the Tragedy of Hungarian Jewry[3] an influential account of the Holocaust in Hungary that has been widely cited by such leading scholars as Randolph L. Braham.[4]
Born in what is today Panticeu, Romania — at the time Páncélcseh, Austria-Hungary — Erno Munkácsi was a son of the distinguished Hungarian linguist and ethnographer Bernát Munkácsi (1860-1937)[5] and grandson of the Hebrew memoirist Me’ir (Adolf) Munk (1830-1907)[6]
