Vitéz Miklós Kozma de Leveld (5 September 1884 – 8 December 1941) was aHungarian politician, who served asInterior Minister between 1935 and 1937. He was also Minister of Defence for a short time in the cabinet ofGyula Gömbös. He attended theLudovika Academy and fought in World War I. He was the supporter ofMiklós Horthy from the begins (Counter-government ofSzeged). He worked as head of theMagyar Távirati Iroda (MTI) from 1922 until his death. He did not agree with the Prime MinisterKálmán Darányi's moderate policy, so he resigned the position of the Minister of the Interior.
After the ministership Kozma continued his radical politics, he wanted to attackCarpathian Ruthenia (Kárpátalja) with theRongyos Gárda at which time it was part ofCzechoslovakia, but the government talked him out of this plan. The Rongyos Gárda had encountered the Slovak army after they filtered into the region. After the occupation Miklós Kozma was appointed as governor ofKárpátalja. He played a major role in the starting of the firstJewish deportation in Hungary, beginning with non-Hungarian Jews, including those who had escaped from surrounding countries into Hungary. Many of these deportees soon became victims of theKamianets-Podilskyi Massacre.
