" Hungarian Students in Exile builds on earlier work about the numerus clausus law, and it adds to that literature by arguing that the numerus clausus was in addition to being an anti-Jewish law was legislation that targeted left wingers from Hungarian academia as well as women. Kelemen adds to the historiography by focusing on who were the targets of the law and not only the typical questions about the duration of the numerus clausus law and its connection to the Shoah in Hungary. This book will appeal most obviously to readers interested in the history of the Shoah and the history of antisemitism in Hungary, but it has the added benefit of appealing to readers interested in the history of authoritarian regimes in interwar Europe, specifically the regime of Miklós Horthy."--John C. Swanson, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga "The purposes of this book are threefold: to provide a social historical analysis of the numerus clausus exiles from Hungary, to explore patterns of discrimination via questions of intersectionality, and to embed this part of interwar history in a longue durée history of universities and Jews at them. [It] is certainly an important contribution to the study of Hungarian Jewish history."--Ferenc Laczó, Maastricht University.
