    "We must take from Romanians the Delta of Danube, too, for, lacking the sea, enclosed between Russians, Bulgarians, and Magyars, Romanians will have to come at our mercy. Not only politically, but also economically. And, after the peace negotiations, France and England will kiss Romania good bye.

The same rule for the teachers and instructors. 5. In the areas inhabited by Romanians, kindergartens with Hungarian teachers will be set up, so that they will only have to speak in Hungarian. 6.

    "We cannot have any good relationship with the Romanians, Czechs, and Serbs!...They are our enemies!

    "A peace congress has no value when its apostles preach from the tribune in favour of peace, and at the same time they oppress other nations in their own countries. But the saddest thing is that abroad the count Apponyi has the reputation of a peacemaker, while in Hungary he can't even consent to the non-Magyars the quality of human beings. Any sane person must grab the lying mask out of this man's face, so that everybody can see he is not a benefactor, but simply a predator bird."

    "We must extirpate these sandalled-peasant Valachs and kill them as our own enemies. The priests preach the love for the people, but this is only a decoy as God only helps rough force and we all must use this rough force to kill and exterminate these Valachs. Religion with its 10 commands says: do not kill, do not steal, do not have a wish for someone else's woman, for these are sins. I ask you, is this sin? No, it is not. A sin is only if we don't exterminate this bunch of sandalled-peasant Valachs. We shall organize a Saint Bartholomew night and we shall even kill the babies in their mothers' bellies!" (baron Aczel Ede, found guilty for crimes against humanity after WWII)

    "[...] the persecution of the Jews in Hungary is, probably, the most abject crime in the entire human kind's history." (Winston Churchill)

    "Dear fellow citizens! Today when our brothers from Transylvania live under the cruel Romanian oppression, should we do nothing? Although we are spread all over the world and have to be silent, we must act for our children, for our elderly, for our mothers and relatives from Transylvania. What greatest goal can a Magyar have at the end of this century than the fight for the Magyar Homeland? Let us not submerge in the night of forgetfulness and apathy, let us hurry the moment when the Mother Homeland will have again her old saint borders. Let us prepare for this moment. Let us utter like an encouragement pray, like an oath, the words of Ducso Csaba: << I shall kill every Romanian standing in my way! I shall kill each and every one of them! There will be no mercy! During nights I shall set Romanian villages on fire. I shall rip the inhabitants with my sword. I shall poison their fountains! I shall throttle their babies! I shall have no mercy! For none of them! I shall have no mercy for the children, or for the pregnant women! Revenge! No mercy, cruel revenge!>> This is the goal of our fight. Only united we shall be victorious. We must bear Transylvania in our blood and not forget it, not even in our sleep. Let us inflame faith and hope to our brothers from Transylvania and fight. Like good Magyars. Like real Magyars!"
