I switched sides. Lawyers Creating the Memory of Shoah in Budapest

Research output: Contribution to Book/Report typesChapterpeer-review

Abstract (may include machine translation)

The paper examines the social composition of lawyers who took up working for the people's court defending war criminals based on the documents of the Archive of the Budapest Bar Association. The three major changes influencing the composition o f the lawyers - anti-Jewish legislation (numerus nullus), postwar lustration, and lus­trations by the communists in 1948 and after the 1956 revolution - changed the composition of the lawyers fun­damentally.
