🔻On December 14, 1929, the American newspaper The New York Times covered a case that had made headlines in Hungary and left many people in shock. In those days, the trial of nearly 50 women began; they were accused of poisoning and killing most of the men living in a remote village in this European country.

Although the report was brief, it contained shocking details: it was said that between 1911 and 1929, several women in the village of Nadír-ev, located about 130 kilometers south of Budapest, had poisoned more than 50 men.

These women, who became known as the “angel-makers,” were accused of poisoning the men with a solution containing arsenic and killing them.

Some consider the case to be the largest instance of the mass killing of men by women in contemporary history.

The women appeared before an open court, where a name was repeated again and again: Jozsanna Fazkas, the village midwife.
