A Hungarian monument to the Second World War depicts the country as a victim of Nazi atrocities. Jewish groups say that representation does not paint the full picture of Hungary's collaboration with the Nazis
A controversial memorial to Hungary’s ‘occupation’ by Nazi Germany has been the site of an ongoing demonstration by Budapest’s Jewish community since 2014, but Hungarian authorities have removed items put in place by demonstrators in recent months, causing further contention.
While it was allied with Nazi Germany, it did not participate in exporting its Jewish citizens to death camps. The Arrow Cross party’s assumption of power power led to the mass deportation of Hungary’s Jewish population. By July 1944, approximately 440,000 Jewish Hungarians had been deported to Auschwitz alone.
Found next to a busy road in Budapest’s Eighth District, on the former site of a railroad station used to deport Jewish Hungarians to death camps, the gigantic Star of David suspended between two towers that serves as the House of Fate’s calling card is impossible to miss. That following year, authorities met with authorities on the Holocaust to discuss their plan for the museum’s exhibition. Their plans were met with concern and criticism.
Though it is unclear how much of Schmidt’s vision remains, Holocaust authorities remain unconvinced by the updated plans.
