Villainy edit

As chancellor of Hungary, Jaross decided to collaborate with the Nazis after they invaded Hungary in 1944 and put Döme Sztójay in charge, resulting in Jaross being made Minister of the Interior. In this position, Jaross conspired with his deputies László Endre and László Baky to arrange the deportation of the Hungarian Jews, which had previously been stopped by Miklós Horthy de Nagybánya after he was forced to do so by the Allies. They also supervised the Hungarian ghettoes where the Jews were kept, with Adolf Eichmann in charge of inspecting them. Jaross is recorded as having used the Ministry of the Interior to dispose of his political enemies, and in October 1944 he created the Arrow Cross Party to keep order under new Nazi puppet Ferenc Szálasi.

After World War II ended, Jaross was arrested and charged with War crimes and Genocide. After being found guilty, he was executed by firing squad on April 11th, 1946.
