József Kristóffy, the Hungarian envoy to Denmark, secretly aided the Danish Resistance during the Second World War, whilst the Gestapo kept a close watch on his every move – he chose integrity over the Nazi dictatorship, putting his life at risk.
We congratulate Søren Peder Sørensen on the publication on 18 September of his book, entitled *The Diplomat Condemned to Death: József Kristóffy – Hungary’s Last Ambassador to Denmark*.
If you are interested in Hungarian-Danish history and the world of espionage behind the scenes, you must not miss this book!
The embassy contributed Hungarian wines to the ceremonial book launch.
