The words he uttered are scandalous, false and distasteful, relativizing the atrocities of the Nazi empire, including the incomprehensible tragedy of the Holocaust. It is no coincidence that Jewish communities in Hungary have also spoken out against the statements.

Tamas Deutsch concluded his post, sharing the full text of the letter.
