Abstract
Gergely Kunt's study about sexual violence as depicted in Hungarian diaries of World War II expands the growing literature on the topic of sexual violence perpetrated during WWII, in this case, with a focus on Hungary.The author teaches at the University of Miskolc and is a social historian by training.In his research, he specializes in WWII diaries.In this new book Kunt offers an innovative approach when it comes to understanding the consequences of the mass rapes committed during and in the aftermath of WWII all over Europe and the former Soviet Union.He examines diaries written not only by selected Hungarian female victims of sexual violence (the topic of female victims of sexual violence in WWII is a fairly well-explored topic in both scholarly and popular literature and, more recently, also in film), but also some sources that illuminate the perspective of male perpetrators of sexual violence, which is still lesser known and researched.While Kunt zeroes in on the Hungarian context, he makes some reflections regarding Germany as well.The author's analysis is first and foremost based on three diaries written by Hungarian women survivors of sexual violence perpetrated by the Red Army.Only one of these, the published diary of Radnóti Miklósné Gyarmati Fanni (Budapest: Jaffa, 2014) is known to the wider public and has had some scholarship written on it.Interestingly, Kunt refers to the author of this book using only her maiden name, which he explains by his intention to make Fanni Gyarmati herself the heroine of this narrative rather than leaving her in the shadow of her famous husband.The other two diaries were both still unpublished at the time when Kunt's book came out.One of them, written by Róza Bodó, is still unpublished, whereas the other, the diary of Erzsébet Bicskey, was made public in 2019 as an internal publication of the Hungarian National Archives under the title"Belső várkastély:" Bicskey Erzsébet, egy fiatal lány naplója 1940-1946 ('"Inside Castle:" Erzsébet Bicskey, a Young Woman's Diary 1940Diary -1946')').Kunt tells the fascinating story of this diary.The four original notebooks were found in the garbage container of a Budapest retirement residence by Piroska Szabó, a student at the time, who later became a librarian and one of the diary's editors.Szabó rescued the notebooks that had been discarded along with Bicskey's other belongings, following the latter's passing.(We can only speculate how many other important life documents may have been lost under similar circumstances.)In some of his chapters, Kunt refers to examples taken from other unpublished diaries by Hungarian agathas@uottawa.ca

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
