Only one kind of Jews are acceptable to present-day Hungary, others are not welcome declared Sztranyavsky of the Ministry of the Interior to a delegation of the Jewish communities in the district of Abony.
The delegation came to the Minister to complain against the anti-Jewish discrimination in the field of commerce and in government employ.
As early as before the war, Hungary possessed two types of Jews, one type who places his Judaism first and Magyarim next, the other who considers himself Hungarian first and foremost and Jewish afterward, the Minister declared. “In the present-day curtailed fatherland, we have no room for the first type. On the other hand, we welcome with affection the cooperation of that section of Jewry which professes Magyarism first and Judaism second. The revolution has created an abyss within Hungarian society. This state of affairs will pass when Hungarian citizens of the Jewish faith will think of measures to win the confidence of their compatriots by an appropriate social, economic and political behavior. Under such conditions the Hungarian Christian citizens are obliged to repose their confidence in the contribution of Hungarian patriotic Jewry for the reconstruction of the country.” he declared.
