Hungary's Jewish Prime Minister
Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany gathered with other
Holocaust victims along the Danube in Budapest. Survivors lay
flowers in memory of Jewish victims of Nazis, who were shot into
the Danube River during the World War II. Sixty cast iron shoes, by
Hungarian sculptor Gyula Pauerin, line the Danube along forty metres in
memory of the victims.

Hecklers Threw Eggs
Hecklers were throwing eggs, and shouting anti-government and
anti-Semitic slogans, throughout the Gyurcsany's speech.
Several thousand took part in the peace march dubbed "zero
tolerance"
against hate speech, which was pointedly held on the banks of the
Danube where thousands of Hungarians Jews were driven into the river
with gunshots during World War II.

Anti Semitism Is Like A Wild Fire
"It starts with ... whistles, with turning a blind eye, with
humiliation. Then it ends in murder and finally the common sense of
shame is left," Gyurcsany said. Some 600,000 Hungarians, mostly
Jews, were murdered during World War II by the German Nazis and
Hungary’s pro-Nazi Arrow Cross regime
