Jewish groups call on government to remove alleged anti-Semitic writers from national curriculum

Six Jewish organisations and federations have called on the government to revise the national curriculum and remove four “anti-Semitic” writers from it.

The writers in question, Jozsef Nyiro (1889-1953), Albert Wass (1908-1998), Istvan Sinka (1897-1969) and Dezso Szabo (1879-1945) spread “the contagion of anti-Semitism,” the organisations said in a statement.

“It is unacceptable that they constitute an integral part of the education of Hungarian youth,” the statement signed by Mazsihisz, the March of the Living Foundation, Mazsike, the Hungarian Zionist Alliance, the Victims of Nazism Committee and the B’nai B’rith Budapest Lodge said.

Writers remain despite Jewish protest

The government will not revise the new and recently approved national curriculum despite heavy criticism from six Jewish organisations and federations over “anti-semitic” writers being included, education state secretary Rózsa Hoffman said on Tuesday.

Several organisations have called for a change in the curriculum, including the Victims of Nazism Committee, to remove four “anti-semitic” writers. The four, József Nyírõ, Albert Wass, István Sinka and Dezsõ Szabó, spread “the contagion of anti-semitism,”

Another test of their power. They pull stunts like this now and then to see if they can make people jump through hoops.
