<div dir="ltr">In previous generations the 20th of Sivan was observed as a fast time in commemoration of Geziras Tach-Tat. I have heard that after the Holocaust the Hungarian Jewish community decided to continue observing the 20th of Sivan as a fast day (or special day of Teshuva with selichos, etc...) because that was when the Holocaust reached Hungary. My question is what exactly happened on the 20th of Sivan in 1944 that is considered the beginning of the Holocaust in Hungary? The secular date was 11 June, 1944 and I do not see that day as bearing any significance in the history of the Holocaust.<div>
