Jews arrested, tortured and executed by officer detachments
In Kecskemét, Jews are arrested, tortured, and executed by officers' detachments.
The Hungary of those years is the first postwar European state to adopt antisemitic legislation: the law known as the *numerus clausus*, which limits Jewish access to the university, would be passed shortly afterward. The White Terror and this law form a single movement — violence first, then its inscription into law.
