Photo Gallery Anti-Semitism in Budapest
Budapest survived fascism and communism and blossomed after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Now the Hungarian capital is experiencing a rebirth in anti-Semitism. This 2007 photo shows members of the far-right group Magyar Garda (Hungarian Guard) during an induction ceremony in Heroes' Square in Budapest.
The right-wing populists of the Fidesz Party recently won a two-thirds majority in parliament, while the anti-Semitic Jobbik party captured 16.7 percent of the vote, making it the third-largest party in Hungary.
"I survived two dictatorships. It's possible that the third one is now on its way," the Hungarian writer György Konrad told SPIEGEL.
Budapest is also an increasingly popular location for movies. Here, Robert Pattinson is seen shooting scenes for his new film "Bel Ami."
