Father Béla Bangha’s „Jewish Summer” – A Story on the Conflict Between Catholicism and Racism

Bangha was hated by everyone: the protestants because he was a traditional Catholic, the Catholics because of his supposed compromises, the racists because he was seen as a liberal, the liberals because they thought he was still an antisemite, and the pro-Horthy government because they thought Bangha was a Habsburg loyalist.

Forced Parallels, Blurred Boundaries – Arrow Cross Men and others on Trial
