President Tamás Sulyok commemorated the victims of the Holocaust at a visit at the Auschwitz memorial site and museum on Saturday.
Sulyok laid a wreath at the “Death Wall”, where thousands of people were executed by firing squad during the second world war. He lit a candle in commemoration of the Hungarian victims of the holocaust in Camp 1, and at the Hungarian-language plaque at Camp 2.

In the guest book, Sulyok wrote: “I came because all Hungarians should come here once, so they can see what human evil can do. We can’t forget or replace the lives destroyed here. Many of them were my compatriots, one of us. Walking among the barracks, I feel that pain or sadness is not enough. We need a determined commitment to good and against evil. We can’t let any more people be taken away from us.”

There is a barracks at Auswitz – I hope Mr. Sulyok managed to visit. The exhibition there is titled:
“THE CITIZEN BETRAYED – TO THE MEMORY OF THE HUNGARIAN HOLOCAUST”
Anyone who knows Budapest will be able to relate and place the pictures, the texts, the documents. The numbers are staggering, the suffering immeasurable. And it was perpetrated by fellow Hungarians. Lest we forget.
