Hungary Holocaust Museum Gives Collaborators a Free Pass

Hungarian Jewish leaders are criticizing a new Holocaust museum under construction in Budapest for omitting the culpability of Hungarians in the attempted genocide of the Jews.

The museum in Budapest, called House of Fates, is nearly complete, but the planned exhibition focuses only on the last period of the Holocaust in Hungary, starting in 1944, when the ghettoization and deportation of over 500,000 Hungarian Jews was already complete. It fails to deal with the earlier persecution against Hungarian Jews, starting with the passage of anti-Jewish laws in the 1920s, local Jewish community leaders and historians complained. Community leaders said they were not consulted about the planned exhibition.

Judit Molnar, a well-known Hungarian Holocaust historian, slammed the museum for not explicitly mentioning the responsibility of Hungarian authorities in the killing of Hungarian Jews during World War II.

18,000 Jews were rounded up and expelled by Hungary into East Galicia in June-July 1941. They were forced to march more than 100 miles to Kamenets Podolsky, where they were murdered by German commandos in the first mass atrocity of the war.

There were anti-Jewish laws and worse long before the 1920’s.

Hungary is in the crosshairs because it won’t legalize same-sex “marriage”. It will be demonized by all means available.
