- Abstract
After the First Vienna Award, Košice was occupied by the Hungarian army on 10 November 1938. The new conditions brought with them the restriction of civil liberties. From March 1939, small national socialist parties and movements united in the Arrow Cross Party, in Hungarian Nyilaskeresztes Párt - NKP, also commonly known as the Nyilasi. The repression of the new regime against the Jews, the Slovaks, communists and other noncompliant groups began to reach its peak at the turn of 1944 and 1945. In November 1944, dominican Mikuláš Lexmann arrived in Košice, terrorised by the Nyilasi, and hid around 30 people in the crypt of the Dominican church in Košice who would otherwise have been facing death. With our archival research, we have been able to discover new facts about this rescue, which this paper aims to analyse and present.
