Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Interview with Sandor Kepiro, a former police captain charged with war crimes for his involvement in the 1942 Novi Sad massacre. In 2006, members of the Wiesenthal Center made public copies of a 1944 court verdict finding Kepiro and 14 other Hungarian Army and police officers guilty of taking part in the massacre. Although found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in prison, Kepiro was freed by Hungary's fascist regime shortly after the trial and fled to Argentina after the war. In 1946, the Communist government of Hungary retried him in absentia and sentenced him to 14 years. Kepiro had returned to Budapest in 1996 without being identified until that point. This film is his perspective on the events and charges.
