Considers the role of the Hungarian "Arrow Cross" movement and its relations with the country's Jews before, during and after World War II. Extremely right-wing, its members killed Jews during the war and later fled to other countries including Australia. After 1951, the party hoped the US would liberate Central and Eastern Europe from communism. In this climate anti-Semitism and anti-Communism were easily conflated. Arrow Cross propaganda sought to minimise the numbers of Holocaust victims and to misrepresent the Nuremberg trials as the Jews' revenge. Belatedly, Hungarian authorities applied for the extradition of Hungarian war criminals from the countries in which they had found refuge.
