Miklós Kállay de Nagykálló (23 January 1887, in Nyíregyháza – 14 January 1967, in New York City) was a Hungarian politician who served as Prime Minister of Hungary during World War II. By early 1942, Hungary’s regent Admiral Horthy dismissed the pro-German prime minister László Bárdossy and replaced him with Kállay, who had a moderate approach whom Horthy expected to loosen Hungary’s ties to Germany. Kállay successfully sabotaged economic cooperation with Nazi Germany, protected refugees and prisoners, resisted Nazi pressure regarding Jews, established contact with the Allies and negotiated with the Allies. Germans occupied Hungary in March 1944 and captured Kállay. He was liberated at the end of the war.
Miklós Kállay is described in the novel The Wallenberg Dossier.
