The profoundly important book uncovers the gripping history of the first private Holocaust memorial erected in Budapest in 1945. Based on court trials, interviews with survivors, perpetrators and investigators the book illustrates the complexities of gendered memory of violence.

The book changes the ways how we look at intimate killings during the Second World War.
