Miskolc Murders
During the 1956 Revolution, an enraged crowd in Miskolc beat and hanged two ÁVH officers—Gyula Gáti and Lajos Freimann—after earlier ÁVH gunfire against demonstrators. While both victims were Jewish, only Freimann’s identity was invoked during the lynching; he was repeatedly called a “Jew” as he was pursued and killed. Although the primary motive was retaliation against the ÁVH, antisemitic hostility shaped Freimann’s fate, reflecting how narratives of “Judeobolshevism”—linking Jews to communist repression since 1919—continued to circulate.
