Set in the tumultuous moments of 1944-45 Budapest, this work
discusses the operations of the Budapest Relief and Rescue
Committee. Drawing out the contradictions and complexities of the
mass deportations of Hungarian Jews during the final phase of World
War II, Szita suggests that in the Hungarian context, a commerce in
lives ensued, where prominent Zionists like Dr. Rezso Kasztner
negotiated with the higher echelons of the SS, trying to garner the
freedom of Hungarian Jews. Szita's portrait of the controversial
Kasztner is a more sympathetic rendition of a powerful Zionist
leader who was later assassinated in Israel for his dealings with
Nazi leaders. Szita reveals a story of interweaving personalities
and conflicts during arguably the most tragic moment in European
history. The author's extensive research is a tremendous
contribution to a field of study that has been much ignored by
scholarship-the Hungarian holocaust and the trade in human lives.
