Döme Sztójay (January 5, 1883–August 22, 1946) was a fascist politician in Hungary during World War II. In March 1944, when German troops occupied Hungary, they forced regent Miklós Horthy to appoint Sztójay (then ambassador to Berlin) as Prime Minister and Foreign Minister. Sztójay refused to accept Horthy's authority and carried out massive persecutions of Jews, which within two months had escalated to deportations of Jews to concentration camps. In August 1944, Horthy's forces, armed with one tank, forced the stoppage of the deportations and the resignation of Sztójay's government. Within two months, Horthy had been deposed by the Nazis, but Sztójay was not reappointed Prime Minister. In the beginning of 1945, the Germans were in turn driven out by the Soviets. In 1946, Sztójay and other Hungarian politicians were executed by the new Communist government. January 5 is the 5th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ...
