Horthy et al

Categorized | Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor,

Posted on 10 July 2012

What is the explanation for Hungarians memorialising those who allied with Hitler and Nazi Germany (“Anti-fascist protest”, The Budapest Times, 22-28 June 2012 and other stories)? There must be some explanation. Do those who love Hungary care what this looks like to the rest of the world?

Sincerely,
Berne Weiss

Laszlo Csatary has been “under investigation” by Hungarian police since last fall. This man murdered 15,700 innocent people, including my grandmother, with great cruelty. He was known to whip women and make them dig holes with their hands.

What will Hungary do? ( It has already said that arresting him is problematic even though he was already found guilty in 1948.) Arrest him, give him a medal and a statue, or nothing? Recently Arrow Cross Nazis have been held up as heroes.

The whole world is watching.
