[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's super weird that he thinks the Holocaust didn't happen considering it was very real in Hungary.  My FIL just barely escaped Hungary as a child (he is Jewish) and is nearly the same age as your dad.  Almost his whole family died and all lived in Budapest.[/quote]

I know....it's impossible to reason with him.  There are a lot of anti-Semitic Hungarians and unfortunately my dad is a perfect example.  He blames Hungary's ills on the Jews.  He and others with his political leanings believe that some Jews were taken to camps just to work - they think the rest of it was all made up by Hollywood (which of course is also run by Jews  :roll: ).  Since my parents pretty much isolated themselves in the Hungarian community in NJ, didn't really travel anywhere (except to Hungary), they were never really got to know anyone outside their little bubble and were never exposed to any differing viewpoints.  They are suspicious and fearful about anything unfamiliar.  My brother and I try to broaden their minds but it's a losing battle.  [/quote]
