An illuminating chronicle of the concentration, ghettoization, and deportation of Hungarian Jews in 1944-1945, Gendarmes, Bureaucrats, and Jews presents, for the first time in English, the key primary sources from the period, documenting how this genocidal program was facilitated by both the Nazi regime and the Hungarian state.
