"...They [Hungarian Jews] had every reason to be proud. The pages of Jewish history books abound with examples. Religious thinkers, social critics, scholars, journalists and physicians, visionaries and exponents of the powerful Jewish message, interpreters of Halacha, political militants, defenders of our people, artistic figures, composers and musicians... They have been given their rightful place in this work which happily brings them all together and pays tribute to them..."
