Rezső Kasztner
Rezső Kasztner (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈkastnɛr ˈrɛʒøː]; 1906 – 15 March 1957), also known as Rudolf Israel Kastner (Hebrew: ישראל רודולף קסטנר), was a Hungarian-Israeli journalist and lawyer who became known for having helped a small group of Jews escape from occupied Europe during the Holocaust but not informing the majority about the reality of what awaited them in Auschwitz, leading to thousands of deaths. He was assassinated in 1957 after an Israeli court accused him of having collaborated with the Nazis. Kasztner was one of the leaders of the Budapest Aid and Rescue Committee (Va'adat Ezrah Vehatzalah, or Vaada), which smuggled Jewish refugees into Hungary during World War II. When the Nazis invaded Hungary in March 1944, he helped refugees escape. Read more on Wikipedia
