Records of László Endre, 1911-1945
László Endre (1895–1946) was a lawyer, prominent civil servant and one of the most influential antisemitic politicians of the Horthy era. As Chief Constable of the Gödöllő district from 1923 to 1937, and Subprefect of Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun County from 1938 to 1944, he was the first to initiate anti-Jewish measures and bureaucratic procedures, which preceded and went beyond the existing discriminatory laws, triggering similar antisemitic measures in other counties. As administrative state secretary of the Ministry of the Interior of the pro-Nazi Sztójay government from April 1944, he initiated and directed the deportation of the Hungarian Jews. After the war, he was convicted of war crimes, sentenced to death and executed.
