List of Hungarian Jews

There has been a Jewish presence in Hungary since Roman times (bar a brief expulsion during the Black Death). Jews fared particularly well under the Ottoman Empire, and after emancipation in 1867. At its height, the Jewish population of Greater Hungary numbered more than 900,000, but the Holocaust and emigration has reduced that to around 100,000, most of whom live in Budapest and its suburbs. Here is a list of some prominent Hungarian Jews.
