This historical event was decisive for the Hungarian Jewiy. At this time Jews in Hungary became Hungarian Jews ־ integral part of the Hungarian people. This is the main thought throughout the opening essay of Hungarian President Árpád Göncz. The essay written with pathos ends with the hope that the merely ten years old change of our present history will bring a return to the tolerant ideas and acts of the Reform Age. The documents and studies of this issue survey the various forms of Jewish participation in the freedom fight and the Hungarian-Jewish relations. Two important documents open this issue. The first Hungarian poem to be written by a Jew was composed by Mihály Heilprin. The sermon of army rabbi Lipót Low, which says farewell to Jewish soldiers heading for battle, is a beautiful homily and at the same time both a document of literaiy and social histoiy. The study of Ambrus Miskolczy analyses the preparations of the first Jewish emancipation law, passed on the 26th of July 1849. The study is based on original documents, first published in this issue. Miskolczy found these among the papers of Bertalan Szemere, Minister of the Interior during the freedom fight. The expert opinion of Lajos Kuthy, Antal Csengeri and Zsigmond Kemény is a true revelation shedding new light on the emancipation process. The article of László Horváth on the Jews in Gyöngyös ־ a Hungarian small town - shows the role and integration of the Jews in the Reform Age Hungaiy. The study of István Fenyő describes this social state through the intelligentsia in the light of evaluating an application for scholarship - also providing an insight into the character of József Eötvös, one of the most influential minds of the age. The collection of Gábor Bona gives brief biographies of army officers, thereby providing profound portraits of the contemporaiy Jews. Péter Zakar gives portraits of the army rabbis. The article of István Kovács shows the high percentage of Jews participating in the freedom fight in the Polish legion. Walter Pietch presents the years of'4849־ in Hungaiy from the point of view of the contemporaiy German Jewish press, which meant in itself a revolution in the contemporaiy European Jewish society since, by its influence, the Jews did not only gain acceptance into the life of individual nations but also into the modern European culture. Máté Hidvégi publishes and comments on the diaiy of Lipót Löw written during the captivity of Haynau. This shocking document is also published here for the first time. Michael K. Silber, the outstanding historian from Jerusalem, examines the social changes which the freedom fight affected on the life style and mentality of the Jews in the capital. Péter Róbert sums up the 1948 centennial Jewish memoirs ־ written merely three years after the Holocaust. During the collection of the materials for this issue we acquired such quantity and quality in documents, reflections and analyses that we have decided to dedicate special issues to this topic later this year and also next year. Two significant books relating to the anniversary also serve this aim: "The documents of 184849־ in the life of the Hungarian Jewiy" edited by Jenő Zsoldos and the new edition of "184849־ freedom fight and the Jews" by Béla Bernstein. During the two anniversaiy years we plan to publish the findings of new research in book form.
