In the Aug. 18 incident in Nyíregyháza, Daniel Rosenfeld and his wife were returning from praying at the local synagogue when the men approached them, the Jewish newspaper Szombat reported last week. Rosenfeld is a cantor and chairman of the Commemorative Committee for the Hungarian Jewish Freedom Fighters.
“There was also spitting and yelling ‘Filthy Jews belong in the gas chamber, off to the gas chamber with them,” Rosenfeld told Szombat. They also shouted the Nazi salute “Sieg Heil,” he said.
Police began a search using closed circuit television footage, Szombat reported.
Anti-Semitic intimidation on the street is relatively rare in Hungary, where about 100,000 Jews live.
Nyiregyhaza is a city situated about 120 miles east of Budapest.

Makes me sick to my stomach, especially knowing how 425,000 Hungarian Jews went straight to the Gas Chambers basically from the comfort of their homes!
What happened in Hungary is mind boggling to say the least.
I will say, its way easier to remember the Mitzvah of what Amalek did to us, maybe we could all use Chizzuk in that mitzvah, when we hear these stories.
(The stupid notion of people getting Porsches, BMW’s, and Benz, with the excuse – it was 75 years ago…. well its the same civilized people, who turned into monsters when the situation allowed, they would do it again.
It happened, therefore it can happen!
Hungary is antiemetic and even before Hitler ymsh they had a blood libel accusation. Hungarian SS were my escort from Poland and they said Juden irhr get nach Buchelwald alle kaputt
When the Russians came into Budapest with tanks in 1956, and crushed their uprising, the Hungarians deserved it, as they were never friends of the Jews, nor are they to this date.
