GYULA SZEKFÜ, one of the most controversial public figures of Hungary’s recent history, has recently died. Dr. Ferenc Wagner shows the reader some of the highlights of Szekfü’s life. Szekfü was a historian and his work influenced the thinking for a long time of many of his fellow countrymen. An ardent supporter of every Hungarian regime, in the last years of his life he became an obedient servant of the communists, being first ambassador to Moscow, to become finally a member of the so-called Presidential Council. According to the author, careful research of many years will be needed to reconstruct the true picture of Gyula Szekfü.
