Abstract
After a short review of aspects of Istvan Deák’s brief but important teaching stints at Stanford, this article explores his work on World War II and the Holocaust. Deák’s writing on these subjects was profoundly influenced by his own wartime experiences in Hungary. But his understanding of the war, collaboration, resistance, and persecution was also characterized by his deeply scholarly appreciation for the historical complexities of the period.
