Hungarian nationalists are indignant because of an article by David Widden which appeared in the “Ujkelet” of Klaussenberg, tracing the origin of the legendary 7 founders of the Magyar nation who, he claims, have been Jewish Khasars.

The Jewish Volksolatt Novisad, in an interesting article repudiates the Honor, saying: “We Jews decline to figure as ancestors of the Magyars. We are not the forerunners of bomb throwers, women violators, castrators, Thank you!”
