Elie Wiesel returns Hungary honour over Nazi 'whitewash'
BUDAPEST — Holocaust survivor and Nobel peace laureate Elie Wiesel has returned Hungary's highest honour in protest at the "whitewashing" of its Nazi past, according to a letter published Tuesday.
Wiesel said "it has become increasingly clear that Hungarian authorities are encouraging the whitewashing of tragic and criminal episodes in Hungary's past," he said in the letter published in the Magyar Narancs weekly.
