Thousands march in Budapest to commemorate Holocaust

Tisuće ljudi je marširalo u Budimpešti na komemoraciji Holokausta

Hungary's annual "March of Life" commemorating the Holocaust drew a record 25,000 people on Sunday as part of events marking 70 years since the start of mass deportations of Hungarian Jews in World War II. There was an open-air concert in front of the House of Terror museum in Budapest before a procession from the Elizabeth Bridge - where a new sculpture was unveiled - to the Keleti railway station.

"Marš živih" , koji se godišnje održava u Mađarskoj  da bi komemorirao Holokaust , sakupio je u nedjelju  rekordnih 25.000 ljudi, radi  označavanja 70-godišnjice  masovne deportacije mađarskih Židova u II. svjetskom ratu. Održan  je koncert na otvorenom,  pred  "Muzejom terora" ( House of terror museum) u Budimpešti i povorka se kretala od  Elizabetskog Mosta,  gdje je otkriven novi spomenik, do  Kelety željezničke stanice.

S a stanice  je krenuo vlak sa 600 ljudi za Auschwitz, po jedan za svaku od 1.000 žrtava Holoakusta u Mađarskoj,  kako bi sudjelovali na ceremoniji u prijašnjem nacistističkom logoru smrti u Poljskoj, kojoj  također  prisutvuje  i mađarski predsjednik Janos Ader.

The 12th annual March of Life, which last year attracted 10,000 people, comes amid strained relations between Hungary's 120,000-strong Jewish community and the right-wing government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban. A programme of events organised by the government to mark the 70th anniversary has been boycotted by Hungary's largest Jewish organization and EJC affiliate, Mazsihisz.
