Minister of Justice László Trócsányi participated at a commemorative held on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Budapest ghetto at the Dohány Street Synagogue.
The Budapest Ghetto was liberated 70 years ago, on 18 January 1945. The Government of Hungary pays tribute to the memory of victims and survivors, pledging that the atrocities of the Holocaust cannot happen again.
Facing the past, Hungary stands united to hinder any harm based on national, ethnic, racial or religious background. The Fundamental Law states that human dignity and human rights must be granted equally and inalienably to everyone.
Minister Trócsányi, representing the Hungarian Government, laid a wreath at the Synagogue’s wall, where the Ghetto’s barrier was located, and paid reverence to the memory of all persons unlawfully deprived of their lives and liberty.
