Press Briefing: Orban and Jewish Heritage

press briefing: Some 550,000 Hungarian Jews were killed in the Holocaust, according to CBC. At an earlier time, the government of Hungary made a mistake, moreover, committed a sin when it did not protect its citizens of Jewish heritage, Orban said during a press briefing after his meeting with Netanyahu in parliament. Orban said he told visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he was aware of the difficult history behind us. Every Hungarian government has the duty to protect all of its citizens, regardless of their heritage. This is a sin because at the time we decided that instead of protecting the Jewish community, we chose collaboration with the Nazis, Orban continued. During World War II, Hungary did not comply with this moral and political requirement. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
