Beskrivning
Kasztner was one of the most controversial Jewish figures to emerge from war-torn Europe. During the last year of the war he was the point man for negotiations with the SS to save Hungarian Jewry. In the 1950s many in Israel vilified him for "selling out "and burdened him with the blame for the suffering and murder of of the vast majority of Hungarian Jewry. He was assassinated in Tel Aviv following a libel trial.
