A presença húngara em São Paulo no pós Segunda Guerra Mundial

Abstract

The World War II has produced the displacement of millions of Europeans from their region of origin. In the end of the war, part of the war evacuees and refugees were sheltered temporarily in old concentration camps, factories or abandoned constructions, which were adapted to receive them. International organizations took over the responsibility to feed, to shelter, to repatriate or to resettle them. The objective from this article is mapping the mainly characteristics of Hungarians who joined the Hospedaria do Imigrante de São Paulo in the post-World War II, by means of the analysis of a database that systemize documentation held by this institution and currently transferred to the Arquivo Público do Estado de São Paulo.
