The Hungarian institution of labor service (munkaszolgálat) during World War II was a discriminatory and unarmed form of military service imposed upon Jews and members of other minority groups who were collectively considered “unreliable” by the regime. Their ranks included left-wingers, members of certain Christian denominations who refused armed service, and some of the ethnic minorities, including Romanians, Southern Slavs, Ruthenians and Gypsies. However, the majority of labor servicemen were Jewish. At least ten percent of the estimated half a million victims of the Holocaust in Hungary died as labor servicemen. Labor servicemen were the members of the Royal Hungarian Army. Initially, the provisions and equipment for as well the treatment of labor servicemen was the same as for soldiers. However, due to gradual introduction of anti-Jewish (and anti-minority) restrictions from 1940 onwards, labor servicemen were deprived of most of the rights regular soldiers enjoyed, including wearing uniforms and national insignia, and using military equipment, with few exceptions. The National Superintendent of the Public-interest Labor Service System (Közérdekű Munkaszolgálat Országos Felügyelője) was appointed to head the labor service organization, operating as part of the Royal Ministry of Defense.
