Self-Financing Genocide: the Gold Train, the Becher case and the Wealth of the Hungarian Jews - Gabor Kadar, Zoltan VagiDiscusses the process of the economic annihilation of the Jews in Hungary, who from the economic point of view were more influential than any other Jewish community in Europe.

Discusses the process of the economic annihilation of the Jews in Hungary, who– from the economic point of view – were more influential than any other Jewish community in Europe. Following the German occupation in March 1944 the collaborating Hungarian government attempted to assert its claim concerning the complete confiscation of Jewish assets at all stages of the road leading to the extermination camps. The cooperation with the Germans proved to be the most problematic in this area.

The story of the Jewish Gold Train is a relatively small but all the more emblematic chapter of the economic annihilation. The circumstances of the freight’s assembling, the German-Hungarian conflicts concerning the train, the looting attempts, the fate of the assets seized by the Allies (double victimization of the survivors) provide the reader with an insight into the history of the repeated looting of the Hungarian Jewry

The book analyzes the role played by SS-Obersturmbannführer Kurt Becher, one of the most controversial and mysterious figures in the Hungarian and universal history of the Holocaust. Becher, delegated to Hungary by Himmler, administered and benefited from the confiscation of an enormous amount of Jewish assets.

There is no doubt that one of the most tragic chapters in Hungarian history was written in the year that followed March 1944. In a short space of time Hungary was occupied by the armies of two global powers, in the course of which the whole country became a war zone and more than 40 percent of its national assets were destroyed.

This was not only a period of irrecoverable loss, but also one that saw the destruction of the Hungarian Jews, virtually the last intact Jewish community remaining in Central and Eastern Europe. The large number of people who were looted and the quantity of the wealth that was seized as well as the speed with which all this was done made the liquidation of the Hungarian Jews a unique chapter in the global history of the Holocaust.  From the Authors' Prologue

Perfect Fit for 2008 Prius
I bought this for my 2008 Prius to help with allergens since I drive with my dog often. I wanted something that fit right and actually improved the air inside the car. Installation took under 5 minutes with no tools, and it dropped in without any issues. The build quality feels solid, not flimsy. After installing it, the air smells cleaner and seems to reduce dust and allergens during drives. It hasn’t restricted airflow and is holding up well with daily use so far. Pros: Fit my 2008 Prius exactly with no adjustments I noticed cleaner air and fewer allergy issues while driving Took me less than 5 minutes to install with no tools Cons: A bit more expensive than basic filters I usually get

Good Enough
This doesn't fit precisely into place. You can see in the photo that the pleats just end with no frame on the sides to seal to the body of the housing. You can wiggle the end pleat into place but there's nothing holding it there so I don't know how long it will stay there. Not a big deal for me, but if you live on a dirt road, there could be enough air bypassing the filter that you may get a dusty car sooner. Price was fine, but I won't buy this filter again.
