Title: Rabbinical council decides marital status.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: RABBINICAL COUNCIL DECIDES MARITAL STATUS #j-3006 BUDAPEST -- The persecution and death of millions of Jews in Europe during the Nazi regime has resulted in the breakup of their families and subsequent bewilderment on the part of many as to their exact marital status. This has been further complicated by the lack of evidence of death, necessitating relaxation of the usual laws. To cope with the problem, the Rabbinical Council of the Central Bureau of Hungarian Orthodox Jewry has set up a special court to rule on cases of remarriage for all Eastern Europe. Here the court is considering the cases of two women (left) whose husbands have disappeared. Seated at the table are (left to right): Rabbi Paneth, secretary of the court; Rabbi Jacob Lebovitsch; Rabbi M. Cohn; Rabbi Welz, and Rabbi Usher Babad.

Title: Hungarian bishop behind bars.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: HUNGARIAN BISHOP BEHIND BARS #c-2076 BUDAPEST -- Imprisoned here as a “war criminal” Bishop Stefan Uzdoczy-Zadravetz (shown behind prison bars) has long been noted for his strong anti-Communistic attitude. He was “Army Bishop” of Admiral Nicholas Horthy’s forces after the last war. Although the bishop has been in retirement since 1928, most of the material for the accusations against him was gathered from his speeches and activities during World War I and in the “counter-revolutionary” period following it when Horthy’s regime superceded [sic] that of the Bolshevik Bela Kun. The 62-year-old prelate lives in a room with 30 other prisoners. Three times weekly he celebrates Mass in the prison chapel. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (EZ-BUDA-MES-3C-6-C)
