Hungary says FBI chief insensitive, superficial on Holocaust
BUDAPEST - Hungary has joined Poland on Tuesday in denouncing remarks by FBI director James Comey about the Holocaust for their "astounding insensitivity and impermissible superficiality."
Hungary's Foreign Ministry said that Comey's remarks delivered last week at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum and then published in The Washington Post were defamatory and resorted to the generalization of Hungarians. The ministry said it sent a written complaint about the issue to the US Embassy in Budapest.
Comey, arguing for the importance of Holocaust education, said that "In their minds, the murderers and accomplices of Germany, and Poland, and Hungary ... didn't do something evil."
