Abstract

Between 1945 and 1948, Prince Primate of Hungary and Archbishop of Esztergom Joseph Mindszenty regularly wrote letters to Pope Pius XII, British diplomats, and cardinals in the United States, Britain, and Australia. His letters and telegrams, protesting against the plight of the Hungarians in Czechoslovakia after 1945 and their forced Slovakisation and deportation to the Czech Republic, are prominent among these letters. This was given by his duties as the ecclesiastical superior of the Esztergom archdiocese in the territories on the north of the Danube River and by his status as archbishop and Prince Primate. In our paper we attempt to summarize the relevant archivistic material in the years between 1945 and 1948: of the 118 Mindszenty letters found by our research so far, 33 deal with his efforts on behalf of the Hungarian community in Czechoslovakia.
