Antisemitism: Appearance and Reality Conference - Panel 1. Historical Issues

John O'Sullivan | Prof. Jeffrey Kaplan | Dávid Nagy

The conference's aim was to objectively assess the degree of Anti-Semitism in contemporary Hungary through the perspective of a diverse group of Hungarian Jewish leaders, activists, and a group of Hungarian and foreign scholars. These perspectives were juxtaposed to the often highly negative portrayals of Anti-Semitism in Hungary by the foreign media.
