| Summary |
"The angel makers of Nagyrév were a group of women who, between 1914 and 1929, poisoned to death an estimated 300 people. They were supplied arsenic and encouraged to use it by a midwife, or "wise woman", named Julia Fazekas, and her accomplice Susi Olah (Zsuzsanna Olah). Fazekas was a middle-aged midwife who arrived in Nagyrév in 1911, with her husband inexplicably missing. Between 1911 and 1921 she was imprisoned ten times for performing illegal abortions, but was consistently acquitted by judges supporting abortion.
