Abstract

In 2004, the "Simon Wiesenthal" Center launched its flagship project to attempt to identify and hopefully facilitate the prosecution of Nazi perpetrators in Hungary, the sixth country in which the project was initiated (the others were Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia in 2002, and austria, romania, and Poland in 2003). The project offered financial rewards for valuable information, which could assist in finding criminals alive and healthy enough to be prosecuted. Despite the fact that the extent of the Hungarian participation in the mass murdering of Jews was more limited than that of other collaborators in Eastern Europe, several Hungarian suspects were identified and indicted. The lecture describes the cases and explains the outcomes of the legal proceedings, both in Hungary and overseas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
