Identity – argues the author – can be seen as three layers built in each other: personal identity as peculiarity or the base, mankind as generality and mediation as a particular layer. The search for identity by József is one the one hand well known but on the other hand is – as all intellectual nuances – somewhat forgotten.

"Whose orders were acted on by the Hungarian hangmen, who have been beating elderly and children fighting under the German fascist flags? Who was forcing them to do this back my home in Skupaya Potudan, splashing my little older brother on the face and later keeping him at the gunpoint? Nobody! They were volunteers for barbarism, allegedly the messengers of the civilised Europe! They acted on their own will, did it all on purpose not on the order of others."
