Fourth Jewish Law

Enacted on 5 July 1942, the Fourth Jewish Law intensified the economic dispossession of Hungary’s Jews by restricting land ownership and compelling the transfer of Jewish agricultural property to the state. It formed part of a widening system of racial legislation modelled on Nazi policies, deepening exclusion and paving the way for the mass confiscations and deportations that followed.
