Csanad Szegedi’s story is remarkable; as vice-president of Jobbik, Hungary’s far-right extremist party, Szegedi regularly espoused anti-Semetic rhetoric and Holocaust denials. He was a founder of the Hungarian Guard, a now-banned militia inspired by the Arrow Cross, a pro-Nazi party complicit in the murder of thousands of Jews during WWII.
Then came a revelation which transformed his life: Szegedi’s maternal grandparents were revealed to be Jewish and his beloved grandmother as Auschwitz survivor who had hidden her faith fearing further persecution.
