Overview
- Analyses the actions, background, connections and the eventual trials of Hungarian female perpetrators in the Second World War through the concept of invisibility
- Examines why and how far-right women in general and among them several Second World War perpetrators were made 'invisible' by their fellow Arrow Cross Party members
- Argues that the legacy of these women remained alive throughout the years of state socialism, and has actively contributed to the recent insurgence of far-right politics in Hungary
