The presentation focuses on the deportation and murder 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.

Hungarian-born historian László Borhi (Indiana University Bloomington, USA) will present his latest book „Survival under Dictatorships. Life and Death in Nazi and Communist Regimes“, in which the complex spectrum of individual reactions to the state’s abuse of power in three terrible episodes in the history of East Central Europe is described. 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.

Die Veranstaltung findet im Rahmen des FWF-Projekts des Ludwig Boltzmann Instituts für Kriegsfolgenforschung „Österreichisch-sowjetische Wirtschaftsbeziehungen 1955-1964“, in Kooperation mit der Universität Graz, statt.
