I would like to say that Raoul Wallenberg saved my mother’s life and several others in my family. Hungary decided to commemorate Raoul Wallenberg on the anniversary of his 100th birthday. However, this is the same country, same Government, which is giving tacit approval to open anti-semitism, anti other minorities – especially the Roma. I feel that the Jewish community in Australia should condemn Hungary, rather than embracing it through their representative, the Ambassador.
