In Hungary, which fell under Soviet influence at the end of WWII,
those who had participated in the wartime atrocities were tried by
so called people's courts. This book analyses this process in an
objective, quantitative way, contributing to the present timely
discussion on the Hungarian war guilt. The authors apply a special
focus on the gender aspect of the trials. Political justice had a
specific nature in Hungary. War criminals began to be brought to
trial while fighting was still underway in the western part of the
country, well before the Nuremberg trials. Not only crimes
committed during the war were tried in the same frame but also
post-war ones. As far as the post-war period is concerned, legal
proceedings regarding these crimes were most often launched on the
basis of Act VII of 1946. This act of law concerned "the criminal
law protection of the democratic constitutional order and the
republic" and its basic aim was to facilitate the creation of a
communist dictatorship and to deal with perceived or real enemies
of the regime.
