The Prime Minister of Hungary likened the formation of the Hungarian Guard to the increasing influence of Brownshirts in Hitlers Germany. a comparison which seems to meat least at an early stageto be apt. The Jewish community in Hungary is understandably wary of its new Guard. and I feel it is incumbent upon all of us to watch future events in that country closely. But it is not just the fringe organizations which are growing in popularity. inch by inch. more moderate groups with the similar tenets are moving to the mainstream. Last month. the somewhat xenophobic Swiss Peoples Party. SVP. romped to significant success in Switzerlands national election. Perhaps this should not be cause for excessive alarm.
