He had just arrived home after three years of war. He was just about to take a bath and shave,when the partisans took him away.Because of the chaos and the bombing, Mihaly Radak, a 65-year-old teacher fromSzeged, had moved in here with Apczi. He was destined to die here on the bank of the Tiszaalso.71One of the victims of Adorjan had got stuck nearby in some roots under the water. IstvanBacskai, his body turned up in the Tisza six months later. He was identified from his leather belt.Of the fifty-six victims of Adorjan only one, Imre Csanadi was who could be regardedin any way as guilty. He had participated in the execution of the two dobrovoljacs and theJewish physician in 1941.Jurisics Miso, the commander warned Uncle Gyula to hide away. Gyula Miluticsovicsfollowed his advice, but when a partisan turned up looking for the farmer and was on the point ofshooting the snarling guard dog, my uncle Gyula came forward to protect his dog.Later we asked this commander why he had participated in the massacre. He replied thatif he had not, then he would have been executed too. The following year the commander of themassacre in Adorjan, Radakovics from Kanizsa, was accused of the massacre of 56 innocentmen. He was entenced to forced labour for twelve months. A rare example. One of his fellows,Knjezevic, got off with six months forced labour. That's how cheap the Hungarian lives wereworth.At the beginning of December, all young men over eighteen years of age were summonedbefore the recruiting commission in Kanizsa. From there through Kishegyes, we marched inranks of four accompanied by armed partisans towards Topolya to join the Petofi Brigade tofight for communist Yugoslavia.In Kishegyes, a young wife caught up with us bringing some food. She approached herhusband marching in the ranks and wanted to pass the food to him. A vigilant partisan shot her.I escaped from Topolya, because I didn't want to die as a member of the Petofi Brigade. Icrossed the Hungarian border at the end of December."Another man from Adorjan, remembering these events, says that in the high bank of theTisza the "holes" are now totally different from those of that time, because rocks have been putunder the bank against the ravine.As far as he knew, not everyone that lined up for execution received a mortal wound.Some were even able to jump into the water uninjured. The partisans, however, jumped downinto the tied-up and half-sinking boats and shot them from there No one was able to count howmany men from Adorjan were shot into the Tisza river.Only the postman in Oromhegyes (Tresnjevac) could provide any facts He had heard apartisan calling to his fellow in Adorjan,"We sent the birds to the Tisza."The partisan in Tresnjevac had asked,"How many birds were there ?"72
"There were about fifty", answered the other Serb partisan from Adorjan.Mention must be made of a number of events of 1941, which may be regarded as havingpreceded what took place in Adorjan. At the end of March or the beginning of April a Serbianriver gunboat moored near Adorjan. A Serbian officer went often to the village to drink and toget to know the people. It was known in the village that the Hungarian occupation is impending.<strong>This</strong> friendly officer was eventually invited to a party, where they got him drunk and thenconfined him for several hours or perhaps even days, then the warship was ordered to sail. Thehosts released the Serbian officer who was now sober and he began desperately to run after thewarship which was now going away from the bank. It is said that the Serbian partisans spoke ofthis event as a crime.It is also said that the teacher from Adorjan begged for his life desperately, because of hisfive children. No pity was shown to him, however, as he was told that at least now he would notbe able to increase the number of Hungarians.The following 56 men were executed on the bank of the Tisza in Adorjan,1.
