The unidentified corpses were buried in the common graves without their data havingbeen recorded.The 102 Catholic victims can be distributed according to their age into the followinggroups: 25 under 20, 24 between 21-30, 2242between 31-40, 19 between 41-50, and 3 with unknown ages.According to the victims' occupation, there were 10 students, 2 civil servants, 1 teacher, 7tradesmen, 11 craftsmen, 10 workers, 17 farmers, 12 hired men, 5 inn-keepers, 2 sailors, 1 horsedealer,1 poundmaster (also called dog-catcher), and three unknown who were murdered.The roll displays that a man called Bosnyak, wearing the Yugoslav first lieutenants'uniform, was christened Janos, and was only 35 when he died in the fire of partisan machineguns. The man from Bezdan, coming up to me at the <strong>book</strong> stall in front of the theater inBudapest, might be Ferenc Flesz's son, consequently, his younger brother, Jozsef Flesz, 17, canalso be found on the roll. The poundmaster, to whom the small child clung so strongly, wasregistered as Ferenc Mari in the death roll.Yugoslav politicians and state security forces were all for concealing, suppressing, ornipping in the bud all kinds of testimony and the collection of data concerning these events.When there was any trace of such intention detected, the authorities retaliated immediately.We must be thankful to the two well-remembered parsons, who were passing fromvillage to village, collecting data in deep secrecy under cover of church service.Since there are several memorial writings concerning the antecedents of the massacre inBezdan, namely, how the men were gathered and abducted, the data remain unsure to someextent. I was also uncertain regarding the details of these days, and especially those of November3. However, the following is certain: the Hungarian troops retreated from Bezdan in mid-October, and only 30-40 gendarmes remained in the village for a few more days. When theywere informed, however, that the Russians had already reached Zombor, they set off at once onSaturday, October 21.On Sunday, poorly armed, Royalist chetniks arrived in the village together with otherswho were thought to be Serbs from Monostorszeg. Frightening the villagers by firing their gunsin the air , this rabble were looting eagerly, stealing money and jewels, changing their shabbyclothes to tidy ones, though wearing their hats to preserve a soldierly look.
