Cold Days is an award winning Hungarian* drama from 1966 about the Novi sad raid. The movie follows the often contradictory memories and self-justifications of four minor officers waiting for trial after the war. The raid started 80 years ago.
Approximately 3-4000 people died in the raids.
A key part from the wikipedia article:
Cold days have been shot based on a novel of the same name by Tibor Cseres. He later wrote a book about the vendetta following the war. There is no film adaptation of this later work yet.
* The film has English subtitles

In 1943, Hungarian leader Miklós Horthy ordered an investigation into the massacres and charges were brought against some of those that had conducted them. Those charged fled to Nazi Germany and returned only after German forces occupied Hungary in 1944.After the war, came the purges in Serbia in which at least 55,973 people died.

On a sidenote and no derail intended, I remember reading in a book by Oliver Sachs-- The Man That Mistook His Wife for a Hat, I think -- in which he wrote something to the effect that Hungarian was the language easiest to translate poetry into but hardest to translate poetry out of. That has always stuck with me ever since.

Hungarian American here, so appreciate the post. My heritage usually expresses itself through desserts; this was something I'd simply never heard of.

On topic: wow, this reinforces the old cliched saying that goes He can hold a grudge like a Serbian. Jesus, how we humans can pass our hate down the generations.
