The Last Days of Budapest by Adam LeBor explores the dark strain of anti-Semitism in Hungary during the Second World War. The book reveals the horrifying experiences of Budapest's Jews, from the enactment of anti-Semitic laws in the 1930s to the Siege of Budapest in 1944-1945. The author highlights the feral and sadistic nature of the Arrow Cross Party, a group of Hungarian anti-Semites who murdered tens of thousands of Jews. Despite the unimaginable psychological strain on the inhabitants, some were saved thanks to the efforts of heroic figures like Raoul Wallenberg and David Gur. The book also features unforgettable photographs and sheds light on the complicity of indigenous populations in the violence against Jews.
