The files from the Secret Police in Hungary
Here are the
scanned files.
My father, Andras Majtenyi-Markovits, was arrested in February 1953 by the Hungarian AVH,
and sentenced to 12 years in prison. In 1955 the sentence was reduced to 4 years, and in Summer 1956
he was freed as a consequence of the Hungarian Events of 1956. He left Hungary clandestinely
and was given permission to reside in France.
I have requested to see the files concerning my father (and other family members)
and received a first portion of 336 pages in September 2013 only about my father.
