From 1920 and until 1957 four successive waves of Jewish immigrants of Hungarian-speaking arrived to Uruguay, thanks primarily to the law of the time and the mechanism of social networks, from the Hungary resulted of the Treaty of Trianon and also of the area of Transylvania from Romania, Czechoslovakia - areas of Slovakia- and Yugoslavia - areas of Croatia-. In its entirety, they added about 4. 045 immigrants, about fleeing not only the crisis derived from the failed attempt of Béla Kun, but also of the economic crisis of 1929 and the anti-Semitic regrowth produced during the run-up to the second world war, the war itself and the subsequent period of the beginnings of Cold War. This immigrants, mostly young people and professions very necessary in the Uruguay of the moment, were slowly integrating into the new society that welcomed them while maintaining many of their cultural traits and adopting the customs of the host society.
