Enemies of the People by Kati Marton

Filled with an insatiable need to uncover her family’s history that had been covered in shadows during both the Nazi and Communist periods, Kati Matron filed for her family’s secret police files in Budapest, Hungary, despite being warned that doing so would open a Pandora’s Box.
