Historians and researchers of World War II and the war in Hungary will find this a unique personal account of a critical time in Hungarian history as this diary was written during the build up to the Russian Siege of Budapest. We note that ominously the diary's abrupt end soon after the Russians began their assault. The 63 page book has fallen apart, the binding split the pages loose but all accounted for.
