Szili Ferenc, The America-image and the Hungarian consciousness of the emigrants from Somogy in the decades of the turn of the century is the name of the study published by Szili Ferenc. He presents the letters of the emigrants to America. The majority of them were written by simple peasants. These letters contain highly importár^ information. They show us the income and wages relationships, the hardships of the work they took on and the fate of the emigrants afflicted by a keen sense of homesickness. They sometimes wrote about intimate things that are always missing from official accounts. We can keep track of the change in their way of life and consciousness, which was triggered by their new circumstances. Bősze Sándor, The doctor-on-duty’s medical logbook of the 533rd Hungarian royal war hospital headquarters (August 9,1942 - April 21,1945). The author in this source-giving study makes public a doctor-on-duty’s medical logbook from World War II, which was kept over two years and a half by the doctor of the military hospital. From the logbook we are shown the everyday activity of the hospital, the change in the number of the patients, the death rate, the hardships of doctoring and the level of the hospital equipment. In the December of 1944 the hospital was moved to Germany and we can follow how difficult it was, how dreadful the bomb raids and the problems of provision were. Füzes Miklós, The tribulations of the Germans of Hungary in Southeast-Trans- danubia during the Second World War and in the subsequent years. (Through the eyes of a historian and the person who went through all this.) The author shows the fate of Germans of Hungary that turned into a tragedy in the form of a synthesis drafting the causes and the effects. He blames the Peace Treaty of Trianon for the break in the traditionally loyal cohabitance between the Hungarians and the Germans. This treaty was painful not only for the Hungarians but for the Germans as well. He informs us about the radicalization of the German nationality movement, the clashes, the process of the gradual wiping-out of the Germans. The statements that come from literary and archival sources are completed by the shocking recollections of a Swabian peasant woman from Somogy county who went through these events. This further enhances the reality content of the paper and the inhuman nature of the tragedy of the Germans. Nagy Domokos Imre, The Little-Balaton between 1945 and 1952 is the name of his study, in which he goes through a critical period of the history of the Little-Balaton, the period of having many owners, when it was not part of the Festetics estate any more and nor was any governmental body in charge of the lake either, and there was a real danger that too many cooks would spoil the broth. In the study we can follow the environment protection conceptions and the fact what serious damage has been caused by politics. By the published contemporary documents we can see the conflict between science and politics. Szántó László, The historical sources of the events of the 1956 revolution in Somogy. He has uncovered the original sources of the events that have been either unspoken of or falsified for decades and that are essential to understand the county history of the revolution and the fight for freedom. In the center of the uncovered documents is the introduction of the primary sources „produced” by the official 401
