Join us for a discussion about Hungary during World War II and Joseph Stalin's impact on the country.About this Event
This seminar will track a complex array of individual responses to the abuse of power by East-Central European states. The three events followed each other within a span of about ten years: the deportation and M**der of Hungarian Jews in Nazi death and labor camps; the Arrow Cross terrorist rule in Budapest; and finally the Stalinist terror in Hungary and East-Central Europe. Through the prism of survival, László Borhi explores the relationship between the individual and power, attempting to understand the mechanism of oppression and terror produced by arbitrary, unbridled power through the experience of normal people.
