  5. "One of #Hungary’s most prominent #Jewish citizens may soon become the country’s #President, with the nation’s new #PrimeMinister nominating her to fill the role due to her “exceptional talent…and integrity”.

    #JuditPolgár, the #Hungarian Jewish #grandmaster who is widely considered to be the best female #chess player ever, has been named by Prime Minister #PéterMagyar as his nominee for role of ceremonial Head of State.

    In a social media post announcing his decision, #Magyar, who successfully ousted longtime Prime Minister #ViktorOrbán in April’s general election, wrote that “our country needs unity, peace, and a president in whom every Hungarian can take pride. The #presidency is not a profession, not a job, but the highest form of service. The president’s task is to serve and represent every Hungarian."

  10. "The oldest #rabbinical seminary in #Europe stands just a few streets from the #Danube in the heart of #Budapest. It has survived empires, #fascism and #communism. It outlasted the #Nazis, who turned it into #AdolfEichmann's headquarters for organizing the deportation of #Hungarian #Jews to the #deathcamps. It endured four decades of #communist rule as the only #rabbinicalseminary in #EasternEurope. Today, it remains a center of #Jewish learning.

    Its story encapsulates one of the great paradoxes of Jewish life in modern Europe.

    #Hungary is often described by Jews themselves as one of the safest countries on the continent in which to live openly as Jews.

    [...]

    Yet Hungary also consistently ranks among the European countries with the highest levels of #antisemitic attitudes."

  13. "Lightning quick and technically gifted, his displays of #footballing genius and glittering international career were cut short in his mid-20s by a succession of injuries inflicted by vengeful defenders.

    By the age of 41, Braun had been murdered, beaten to death as a slave labourer in the snow of a brutal #Russian winter by #Hungarians who, less than two decades previously, had perhaps spent evenings with their friends talking excitedly about his feats on the #football pitch. The last image we have of Braun is of those same #Hungarian guards crouching over his lifeless body, prising open his mouth to extract gold teeth."

Poet #LászlóJávor wrote his own lyrics to the song, titled "Szomorú vasárnap" ("Sad Sunday").
