Gábor VINCZE: VAE VICTIS! Retaliation, Revenge And Collective Punishment … 177
Comments
1) The study was made according to the researching results of acclaimed and thoughtful
historians of Hungary, Slovakia, Ukraine and Romania. The majority of these studies
unfortunately, haven’t been published in English.
2) All the referred studies are based on thoughtful researches in the archives and
partially oral-history-interviews.
3) The chapter including the events in Romania was written according to the own
researches of the author, and partially based upon the researches of Mihály Fülöp in
Hungary and of Levente Benkı and Zoltán Nagy Mihály in Romania. The massdeportation
of the Hungarian minority of South- and North-Transylvania and the
activity of the Maniu-Guard was reconstructed according to archive files of Cluj
Napoca and Bucharest. The anti-Hungarian judgement of the people’s court is proved
by the processing of the contemporary archive files of Budapest and Cluj Napoca and
the contemporary Hungarian press. (The author cannot detail the legal procedure
against Albert Wass, due to the lack of space, but he gives the related bibliography in
the footnote. One of the listed studies was issued in Cluj Napoca – it is available on
the internet for anybody)
4) The author – Gábor Vincze – regrets that the referred by him studies are not known
by the Romanian historians – as the majority of these studies were published only in
Hungarian language. So, he would like to draw the attention on a study that can be
read in Romanian language, too: Mihály Zoltán Nagy – Gábor Vincze: Autonomişti şi
centralişti. Enigmele unor decizii istorice. Transilvania de Nord din septembrie 1944
până în martie 1945. Cluj, 2008.
5) His final conclusion is the result of the thorough analysis of the events. He doesn’t
state that only Hungarian people were pronounced to be collective criminals, but due
to the lack of space he couldn’t detail the atrocities against the German minority (or
the other national minorities in the USSR).
