László Endre

László Endre (January 1, 1895 – March 29, 1946) was a Hungarian right-wing politician and collaborator with the Nazis during the Second World War.

Early years Born into a wealthy Abony family, Endre obtained a degree in political science after service in the First World War and became a leading local government officer in Pest county. He became involved in the right wing nationalist society Magyar Országos Véderő Egyesület (MOVE) during which he became noted for his extreme cruelty, which may have been a result of syphilis.

Ministry of the Interior Endre did not rise to national prominence until 1944, when Hitler, impatient with Hungary's reluctance to commit fully to German war effort, ordered the invasion and occupation of Hungary. Most of them were taken directly to Auschwitz concentration camp, where they were quickly murdered in the gas chambers, and cremated.
