Additions to the Activities of Andras Kun, the Emblematic Figure of the Terror of the Arrow Cross Party

Summary/Abstract: András Kun was an emblematic figure among the executed members of the Arrow Cross Party accused of crimes against the civilians of Budapest in 1944-1945. Dozens of articles were published about his actions, arrest and trial before the National Court, not only in the post-war press, but his personality was a topic from time to time in the scientific and historical literature, as well as in belles-lettres. The recognition of the alleged and actual crimes of the former Minorite monk who was involved in various atrocities committed by the Arrow Cross units were known at the time when they actually happened, becoming widely known to the general public after his arrest. As I noted earlier in the papers of Létünk Journal (KURUCZ 2018: 173–193), exploring his activity with all the details today is completely an impossible task. The present study is therefore limited to presenting events that, outside the court proceedings against Andras Kun, can be compared to testimonies in other litigation and memoirs independent of the investigative or judicial proceedings.
