Abstract
Once a strong group, the Hungarians are now relatively small minority in Croatia. Their absence is particularly noticeable in the Bjelovar region, where they once lived mixed with Croatian, Serbian, and German communities. The partisans conditioned their remaining in that region with their joining of the partisan movement. Since the Hungarians did not feel that the partisan cause was theirs, they were expelled from the Bjelovar region. This was another tabu theme of historiography; hence, this article represents the first attempt at its exploration.
