Johan Hui, Andor Lichter
“History is the way in which a culture accounts for its past” – wrote Johan Huizinga in 1929.343 This accounting is present through historiography, but also through museums, commemorations, court trials, state issued public apologies, historical fiction, photographs and family stories. Though historians play an important role in memory culture they do not play a decisive one. Remembering is an individual process that follows available frames and patterns. It will not enter the public sphere automatically, therefore not every memory will become part of public or cultural memory. It takes a long selection process.344 The Dely trial entered Hungarian cultural memory partly because of Lichter and partly because of the work of historians (like me). Without this book Dely will remain just one of the Arrow Cross women listed as executed after the Second World War. While the survivors are still living among us – and in the case of the Csengery Street events they thankfully are – they share their memories with their contemporaries and the subsequent generations. This book shows the different sites like court, families and in the press where the survivors told their stories right after the war, and traces how their stories were gradually and selectively forgotten. In this chapter I examine the way forgetting and transformation – which Ann Rigney calls the “dynamics of memory” – worked in the case of the Csengery Street massacre.345 Memories are not unchanging; therefore, the dynamics of memory may fundamentally affect who remembers what and how. This mapping is particularly important in relation to the changing framework of Holocaust memorialization in Hungary and also globally. It does not matter that the second largest community of Jewish survivors in Europe lives in Hungary; due to the lack of Hungarian Holocaust researchers in the international research community, and the effect of communist memory politics, the
