Launched, searchable at nyitottaktak.hu

A new website, nyitottaktak.hu, launched on Wednesday, allowing public access to agent files from Hungary's political police between 1945 and 1990. The site aims to provide insights into historical sources related to state surveillance. It offers searchable records, including paper and digital documents, although it notes that these records are incomplete due to past document destruction. Future access to additional files is planned, with specific dates for when certain records will become available. Visitors are encouraged to read descriptions of the sources and watch explanatory videos before searching.
