Father András Kun (d. 19 September, 1945, Budapest, Hungary) was a Roman Catholic priest and member of the Arrow Cross Party. During the Siege of Budapest, Father Kun served with Arrow Cross death squads which massacred Jews and other racial minorities. During these activities, he continued to dress in his cassock with a holstered pistol. After the Second World War, Father Kun was tried for war crimes by the new People's Republic of Hungary. He admitted to involvement in killing more than 500 people. He was convicted and hanged.
