the Headquarter of the Arrow Cross Party, today the House of Terror
(Source.)
The House of Terror museum in Budapest, “which restricts the Holocaust to a couple of rooms while devoting the rest of its ample space to communist crimes,”75 meticulously lists Jews among the communist perpetrators but not among the victims of the Stalinist system.76
For Randolph Braham, the House of Terror attempts to turn [the Third Reich’s] last ally into its last victim,77 an attempt furthered in 2014 with the inauguration of Budapest’s Memorial to the Victims of the German Invasion depicting Hungary as [its] victim, but ignoring Hungary’s responsibility and collaboration with the [Third Reich] in exterminating Jews.78
As I have shown elsewhere, this memorial is an amalgam between Deflective Negationism, Double Genocide and Holocaust Obfuscation.79

The narration of its permanent exhibition draws no distinction between the policies of the Hungarian Arrow Cross Party, which held power from October 1944 to April 1945, and the [people’s republic], which held power between 1948 and 1989.
By linking the reign of terror carried out under Hungary’s brand of [fascism] with the subsequent terror experienced under Communism, this museum drew a parallel between the two régimes and, what’s more, declared a continuity between the two kinds of terror.
With this, it aligned itself with that controversial, revisionist school of historical thought that regards the human devastation wreaked by these two types of dictatorship, and the régimes themselves, as of essentially the same nature.
Since the history of Communism is depicted only in part, the exhibit hardly can be called comprehensive. Not that this was the intention. As the museum director herself publicly has stressed, the institution aims to display terror in all its sensational aspects, to invite visitors to an historical “happening”.
The House of Terror creates a historical narrative that paints a picture of Hungarians as the victims of both Nazism and Communism. In this narrative, the Communist terror persists well beyond the actual fall of Communism — if not to this very day

Oh, and a funny thing: Karl Marx’s use of the phrase ‘House of Terror’ actually predates the anticommunists’ use of it, only he used it to refer to a kind of workhouse wherein the capitalists expected the poor to work for them for about one dozen hours a day.
Another proof that Corn man Didnt send enough tanks in 1956
i’ve never visited (because it was clear from the start what kind of place this is) but i do wonder how they manage to compare the hundreds of thousands slaughtered by fascists to whatever the communists did
hungarians will never forgive the communists for killing a few fascists (not even most, they left most of them alive because you cant run this country with just the communists, you’d have like 1 person per city left…)
meanwhile, they 120% ignore the jews they slaughtered, blatantly and openly saying they werent hungarians and therefore dont count.
hungarians will never forgive the communists for killing a few fascists
they may miss the social safety net of communism but they’ll still seethe about the lives lost to the evil russkies, completely glossing over their own fascists’ culpability in all of it
Yep, they want to join and play second fiddle to the primary imperialists… UK, America, etc so they can also get in on the plunder and have the social safety nets they like also.
Kind of like the Scandinavian countries.
an entire country of people who thought they were gonna get western social democracy after their counterrevolution, and they STILL havent realized that the only reason the west had social democracy of any form was as a defense against communism
they got duped but they’ll die before they admit it
classic h*xbear users just saying shit with literally no idea what they’re saying
