    A report on the feol.hu website said a Waffen-SS veteran who was scheduled to speak at Saturday’s memorial in the city of Szekesfehervar did not attend for health reasons. The Wiesenthal Center said the event was “another blatant attempt to honor and glorify the perpetrators of the Holocaust.”

    Last year, international criticism caused a foundation to cancel plans to erect a statue in Szekesfehervar of a Holocaust-era minister who helped draft anti-Semitic laws.

    The Wiesenthal Center’s Mark Weitzman said authorities’ failure to condemn the event, considering that Hungary is currently chairing the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, was “an exercise in political and historical hypocrisy.”

    Anti-Semitism will always be, as we very well know, and to expect anything else is a myth, especially from countries that participated and aligned themselves wholeheartedly with hitler’s, YIMACH SHMOI V’ZICHROI nazi regime.

    That said, towards the end of days, where we currently find ourselves in, the Glory of HASHEM will shine forth upon His people, His chosen people the B’nai Yisroel and Moshiach, on his arrival, will light up the world as never before in every possible way, imaginable and non-imaginable and everyone including the anti-semites around the globe will see the ‘light’ and want to join the ranks of the Jews.
    Alas for them, too little too late!

    That period is upon us!
