The main difference probably is that we were fascists and natsoc and we are guilty in killing the Jews just the sames liek the Germans. Every fucking topic which gets open to public it has to include Holocaust and it's condemnation even if it's nothing to do with it it's just happens to be in the same interval.
Not long ago, I think about the end of last year there was an open forum/argument/debate about a fine if not the finest Hungarian historian of all time, Hóman Bálint, who was Minister of Education for a few times and was the member of the Parliament and remained that after the Hungarist takeover of the government in '44. After the war the communists arrested him, got sentenced as war criminal and basically tortured him to death. His membership of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA) was suspended. Now some peeps want to erect a statue of him as few years ago he was rehabilitated and they even want to give him back of his MTA membership. I watched a good part of the argument as it was recorded maybe by some TV channel I can't remember (it also hazy where I watched the thing in the telly or online, nevermind). Apparently the problem is that he didn't object against the treatment of the Jews (deportation, forced labour, killing) so he can't get a statue and can't get back his membership either. One of the younger military historian I mentioned before who took steps to correct things chaired the debate and all he did was interjection: "but he was guilty". The whole thing was shameful, the pro-statue group gave their arguments, then a Jewish lady said: "he didn't cared about the Jews", this dude said: "but he was guilty". Rinse and repeat several times. His scientific work has nothing to do with the Jews, they made the issue into a Jewish question.
Best part: 99% of the Hungarians have never heard about Hóman Bálint, and only a handful of assburgers can really appreciate his work. So even if he got a statue it wouldn't matter for almost all of the people who would see it wouldn't know who he was.
