Andrea Pető uncovers the gripping history of the fi rst private Holocaust memorial erected in Budapest in 1945.

It examines the dramatic events: massacre, deportation, robbery, homecoming, and fi ght for memorialization from the point of view of the perpetrators and the survivors. The book will change the ways we look at intimate killings during the Second World-War.
