Paperback. A compilation of details of the cardinal's real 'crime' as proclaimed by the Communists. "The Hungarian cardinal's arrest in 1948 on charges of treason are patently false; his only crime was his opposition to Jewish-Communism." - Singerman 0804. "József Mindszenty (1892-1975) was a Hungarian cardinal of the Catholic Church who served as Archbishop of Esztergom and leader of the Catholic Church in Hungary from 1945 to 1973. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, for five decades 'he personified uncompromising opposition to fascism and communism in Hungary'. During World War II, Mindszenty was imprisoned by the pro-Nazi Arrow Cross Party. After the war, he opposed communism and communist persecution in his country. As a result, he was tortured and given a life sentence in a 1949 show trial that generated worldwide condemnation, including a United Nations resolution. After eight years in prison, Mindszenty was freed in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and granted political asylum by the United States embassy in Budapest. He lived there for the next fifteen years. He was finally allowed to leave the country in 1971, and died in exile in 1975 in Vienna, Austria." - Wikipedia. 8 stapled pages. Undated but probably circa 1950. Unmarked with moderate wear.
