3. "Some Hungarians complained that…"

"subjects related to national history are ignored." Well, they probably are proud of Hungarian role in WW2, when their country fought together with Nazi Germany most of this war (until March 1944).

the hungarian term for that the shoah scam (and not joke) is holokamu and not holomaku as in the article.
5. The soviets did not kill millions of Hungarians .

Even under Stalin Hungarian repression was minimal in comparison to Nazi Crimes against the Jews . Also the Baltic states and certainly Poland . The Nazis killed more Polish Catholics than the USSR . Futher Stalin was monstrous with his own people the Peasants in the Forced Collectivisation but the Nazis killed millions of Ukranians also . The Nazis also starved to death many Dutch People and Many people of Greece plus Serbs through their support of Croation Nazis .

Cinematrix indeed lists Son of Saul as #8 most viewed film, but unfortunately that does not negate the backlash mentioned in the article. It is a fact that many Hungarian still do not accept the sorry part their grandparents/parents had in the Holocaust of the highly assimilated Hungarian Jews. The percentage of the Hungarian Jews who participated in 1848 in the Hungarian Revolutionary Army (which included my great-great grandfather) against Austrians was three times more than their percentage in the population. In World War I, 10,000 Jewish soldiers died for the country. There is a Hungarian book called "100 Famous Hungarians", more than half of them were Jews. Thus, the anti-Jewish feeling of many Hungarians are very-very misplaced, but it is there.
7. PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.....

unfortunately! although there are lots of wonderful people there, and I can thank them for being alive today, but a HUGE minority for whom jews are just not humans. period! that will NEVER CHANGE, and any jew still there, are just simply suicidal, lost souls.
