Following the award of the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film to Hungarian Holocaust drama Son of Saulyesterday, Hungary has witnessed an outpouring of antisemitism.
Hungary’s largest online newspaper, Index, published some of the worst examples. It includes a flood of comments denying the Holocaust and also blaming the Hungarian Prime Minister for congratulating the film’s creators, claiming that he is obeying Jewish commands.
The newspaper’s journalists also witnessed antisemitic discourse about the film in public, including people questioning the truth of Holocaust.
