    I am seeing P. Fase. Not finding anything under that name but the strength of these images should sell these. Very interesting find!

    I see P. Fase also. And those are wonderfully powerful images.

    Possibly because of the word igazságot in the last image? (the one that's not enlarged)

    Smadgos, those are some very evocative images!

    Agreed. Not sure that it means these are Hungarian, but add this in case it's helpful.
    (igazságot magyarországnak = justice for Hungary)

    Are there more examples of the sig? I'm thinking the surname might be Fajt.

    say_it_slowly The worst prison is a closed heart

    Very powerful paintings as others have said.

    Google translates fajt as hurt and igazságot at truth from Hungarian if that helps at all.

    You might contact someplace like the Holocaust Museum and see if they have any information. Here is one of them.

    Can we see all of them? Moving and disturbing images.The artist may well not have survived the war.

    this is the map of the Treaty of Trianon that was felt an injustice by Hungary - although the splitting up of the former Kingdom of Hungary was already a fact before the treaty was signed in Paris. the consequences were felt till the splitting up of former Yugoslavia, when Hungary started mouthing around again and asked for parts of the territories that had a Hungarian minority at the start of the 1990s.
    an endless story...

    The name could be Fasz, a Hungarian name.
    The uniform could be that of the arrow cross militia, Hungarian fascists.
    The people around the radio: Radios were forbidden in occupied regions, people who managed to get a radio would listen huddled together with those they trusted, in secret, to transmissions from England. Many occupied countries had radio transmissions from England in their own language.
