Reflection of migration after the Armenian genocide in the Transylvanian Hungarian press

If we were to conduct a micro-survey among people around us to find out whether they have heard of the Holocaust, they would probably all answer affirmatively, and could describe the term. But what if we asked them about the Armenian Genocide? We certainly would not achieve equally favourable results. Even though the Armenian Genocide is the second most researched genocide globally, it is far less widely known among Hungarians in Transylvania. However, several similarities can be drawn between the two tragedies, which were committed with only a slight time difference. This article is part of a comprehensive academic press research project covering both Romania and Hungary, which examines how the Hungarian and Romanian press of the time reflected the issue of Armenian refugees. In this study, we focus on the Transylvanian Hungarian press as a distinct cultural-historical region. The paper examines how the press presented to its readership the terrible series of events that took place, mainly under the cover of World War I.
