The Accusatory Gravediggers: The Real Gravediggers of the Hungarian Nation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Accusatory Gravediggers)

The Accusatory Gravediggers: The Real Gravediggers of the Hungarian Nation is a Hungarian language book published in London in 1958,[1] written by Ferenc Fiala and Louis Marschalko. The book is a reaction to Márton Himler's work, This is How the Gravediggers of the Hungarian Nation Looked, also published in 1958.

The book deals in detail with the fate of Hungary after World War II, reviving the operation of the people's courts, the trials, verdicts, and executions. After its authors, it has a strongly right-wing tone. It was only published in Hungary after the change of regime. Both of its authors were sentenced to death by the People's Court (even before the book was written), Louis Marschalko in absentia, and Ferenc Fiala's sentence was later modified by the People's Court to life imprisonment, and he was released in 1956.[2]
