The Simon Wiesenthal Center: in Hungary, anti-Semitism is on the rise along with a resurgent far-right movement

The Simon Wiesenthal Center is concerned about the the rise of the extremist far-right movement In Hungary. In a post on their website, the the Simon Wiesenthal Center considers that ”today in Hungary, which lost half a million Jews, most of its Jewish population in Auschwitz and other concentration camps, anti-Semitism is on the rise along with a resurgent far-right movement that won 17% of the votes in recent elections”.

Against this backdrop, Simon Wiesenthal Center Israel Director Dr. Efraim Zuroff finds himself on trial in Budapest in a lawsuit filed by an Hungarian Nazi war criminal responsible for the murder of hundreds of Jews.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center is an international Jewish human rights organization that confronts anti-Semitism, hate and terrorism, promotes human rights and dignity.
