Christianity and the Holocaust of Hungarian Jewry
The role of the Christian church in Hungary during the Nazis' campaign of Jewish mass extermination has been largely forgotten, or repressed. This documentation and analysis of the church's lack of compassion-- and active persecution--of Hungary's Jews during this period begins with the arrival of Jews in Hungary at the end of the 17th century and traces the history of the Jewish community there.

Less than Nations
Less than Nations: Central-Eastern European Minorities after WWI represents the result of research that the author has carried over recent years, and was facilitated by the 2008 PRIN project (Programmi di Ricerca di Rilevante Interesse Nazionale) and the 2010 Sapienza Research funds. The book analyses the conditions of national minorities after World War I, when the geo-political map of Central-Eastern Europe was redefined by international diplomacy. The new settlements were based on the principle of national self-determination and were conditioned by the geographic reality of Central-Eastern Europe, where states and nations rarely coincided. As a consequence, the minority question emerged a...

Europa im Schatten des Ersten Weltkriegs
Das Kriegsende 1918 brachte Europa keinen Frieden - schon 1917 begann eine Reihe von (Konter-)Revolutionen, Bürgerkriegen und gewaltsamen Konflikten, die sich über viele europäische Länder ausbreitete und bis 1923 andauerte. Diese Welle der politisch und ideologisch bedingten Gewalt, die sich nach einer Stabilisierungsphase mit der Weltwirtschaftskrise 1929 wieder entfesseln und ihren Höhepunkt mit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg erreichen würde, hing mit mehreren Ursachen zusammen: mit der Auflösung alter Kontinentalimperien, Gründung problematischer Nationalstaaten und Entstehung radikaler Bewegungen, die ihre Ziele u.a. auch mit der paramilitärischen Gewalt zu erreichen suchten. Unterschiedliche Diskursivierungen dieser Themenkomplexe, die dem historischen Rahmen der 1910er und 1920er Jahre entsprungen sind und in der darauffolgenden Zeit weiterentwickelt wurden, werden im vorliegenden Sammelband von Forscher:innen aus verschiedenen Ländern, unterschiedlichen Fachdisziplinen und differenten methodologischen Perspektiven aufgegriffen und diskutiert.
Bonyhád: a Destroyed Community
This is the story of the renowned Jewish community of Bonyhad, a small town in the Hungarian countryside. It tells the history of its people, their scholarly Rabonim, it pictures their pious lifestyle, how they lived and how they perished in the Nazi Holocaust. The story follows the survivors, how they tried to rebuild their shattered lives and their community, and continues through their exodus in 1956, to where they are now and how they remember. Bonyhad: A Destroyed Community is an easy-to-read, well-documented work.
The Routledge History Handbook of Central and Eastern Europe in the Twentieth Century
Statehood examines the extending lines of development of nation-state systems in Eastern Europe, in particular considering why certain tendencies in state development found a different expression in this region compared to other parts of the continent.

The book addresses processes of building social orders and examines the contribution of state institutions to social and cultural integration and disintegration. It analyses ins...
Teleki Pal
Teleki tenta fino all’ultimo di salvare il suo paese: pur revisionista convinto è sicuramente assertore di una Confederazione di stati europea e prevede che il revisionismo a tutti i costi, porterà l’Ungheria a perdere se stessa, in un’Europa che, dalle parole di Teleki stesso, nel suo saggio del 1940 Transilvania, si è scoperta un “piccolo continente”, in balìa di slogan, dove il vitale scontro di culture si è trasformato in annientamento di civiltà. Le relazioni con la Polonia, fino al salvataggio, durante l’invasione russo-tedesca, di centomila profughi polacchi ed ebrei e le trattative segrete polacco-magiare ai danni di Terzo Reich e URSS, l’occupazione della Transilvania e della Transcarpazia (e i rapporti diplomatici con Romania e Cecoslovacchia), la missione di volontari a fianco dei “fratelli finnici”, aggrediti dai russi nel dicembre del ’39, fino al suicidio il 3 aprile 1941, del grande geografo, trascinato in politica dagli eventi, che per primo aveva individuato e difeso le ragioni della nazione curda.
