Hungary’s prime minster may soon announce plans to establish a Holocaust museum and documentation center, according to sources close to Viktor Orban. The comment came after Orban met last week with the recently elected leader of the Hungarian Jewish community, Peter Tordai, and the nation’s chief rabbi, Jozsef Schweitzer. During that meeting, the Jewish leaders pressed the premier to increase compensation given Holocaust survivors and their families and to seek stricter laws to combat hate mongering and incitement.
