The great increase in conversion among the Jews of Hungary is the result of growing anti-Semitism in the economic life of the country, according to statistics made public by the Budapest rabbinate, who sent out an inquiry to candidates for conversion, asking the reason for their action. The replies said that they can only get positions when converted.
