This is a collection of seminal essays on the Holocaust in Hungary. Three of these studies deal with the prewar and wartime periods, focusing on the impact of the Vatican and of the Christian churches on the evolution of anti-Semitism, and on the influence of the war on the anti-Jewish policies of the German satellite states. Five essays are devoted to postwar reactions to the Holocaust, including "historical revisionism", Canada's first and only Holocaust-related war crimes trial, and the drive by Hungarian and Romanian nationalists to cleanse the history of their nations during the Nazi era.
