Our Mission:
Exploring political, social and historical issues from Hungary
Hungary is culturally and socially deeply rooted in Europe. Its complex history and present-day developments offer a wealth of material for literature and journalism with depth, clarity and impact. At Wahrheitsperlen Publishing, we believe these perspectives should be heard – across borders and particularly in present times.
Our focus:
Uncover meaning & give context
In an age where disinformation competes loudly for attention, we create space for clarity, depth and personal perspective. Wahrheitsperlen Publishing stands for books that investigate thoroughly, are well researched and emotionally resonant. Whether biography, historical novel or investigative non-fiction – our authors give voice to reality. We focus on political developments, social tensions, historical continuities and cultural identity.
Program
Eyewitness accounts & biographies
Hungary has given rise to remarkable individuals whose thoughts, achievements and life paths resonate far beyond its borders. Whether in literature, science, the arts or political action – their influence endures, their legacy remains alive. We tell their stories as part of Europe’s cultural memory.
Investigative non-fiction
Whereever one looks closely, books emerge that shed light, provide context and dare ask difficult questions. Our publicatoins dwelve into power structures, societal transformation and political currents – beyond what meets the eye. Many of these issues extend far beyond Hungary: they touch on questions that are equally vital in other countries, about democracy, the public realm and the growing threats to individual freedom. We publish books for those who seek not just to know what is happening – but to understand why.
Hungarian authors living outside of Hungary
Books by Hungarian writers, artists and journalists living abroad will enrich our program and have their voices heard.
Stories on Hungarian Jewry (20. & 21. Century)
Hungary’s Jewish history is rich, painful and deeply intertwined with that of Europe – yet it remains scarcely accessible in the German language. We aim to close this gap: with memories, biographies and voices that have rarely been heard and must not be forgotten.

Truth:
The way we see it.
Wahrheitsperlen Publishing was founded from a profound urge to stand against what so many sense – the restriction of freedom of opinion, in a time where depth and truth are under increasing pressure.
Especially, in a country like Hungary where press freedom and freedom of opinion are curtailed, authentic voices gain importance. Our books give these voices space. We publish stories that only tell, but bear witness. Literature that endures becuase it is born of truth – personal, moving and unvarnished. Pearls of truth are rare – but they shine. And they find their way – even across borders.
What ‘Wahrheitsperle’ stands for
The pearl is our emblem – it forms in secret, slowly through resistance – layer upon layer. From friction comes beauty. From depth comes shape. This is how we understand truth in literature. Not loud, not polished smooth, but grown substantial and genuine.
Wahrheitsperlen Publishing stands for books written out of inner necessity. For voices that resist the superficial. For stories that carry meaning – personal, political, poetic.
We believe in what endures. In words with weight. In books that bear witness to the truth.
What we want to bring to the German public
Wahrheitsperlen Publishing seeks to build bridges between past and present through its books. They speak not only of today’s challenges, but also of historical experiences: of dictatorship and resistance, of silence and defiance, of identity and loss. These stories hold particular value for a German audience. They serve as reminders of how fragile freedom can be – and how essential it is to learn from the history of others in order to shape one’s own present with greater awareness and vigilance.
Our Pearls of Truth are literary testimonies: personal, political, timeless. They invite the reader to look closely, to understand – and to take a stand.
