White Terror

<p>The White Terror was a movement of right-wing militias that for two years actively tracked down tortured and murdered members of the Jewish community as well as former supporters of the short-lived Council Republic in the years following World War I. It can be argued that this example of a programme of virulent antisemitism laid the foundations for Hungarian participation in the Holocaust.</p><p></p><p>Given the rightward shift of Hungarian politics today this book has a particular resonance in re-examining the social and historical context of the White Terror.</p>
