Szegedi’s wild-eyed notions of Jews were in line with the nativist platform that has formed the backbone of Jobbik’s populist appeal in the Central European nation – a platform he did much to formulate and disseminate for a decade as one of the prominent nationalist party’s most visible and outspoken leaders.
“I saw Jews as a monolithic group,” Szegedi tells The Jerusalem Report. “When I thought of a Jew, I thought of a greedy, hunchbacked, hook-nosed banker.”

Then, in 2012, came the proverbial twist in the tale: the Hungarian nationalist who feared and despised Jews turned out to be a feared and despised Jew himself.
A disgruntled acquaintance with neo-Nazi sympathies who had been nursing a grudge against Szegedi confronted the Jobbik politician with a damning bit of news: Szegedi’s elderly maternal grandmother, née Magdolna Klein, was Jewish – and hence so was Szegedi himself, according to Jewish law. Not only that, but she was a survivor of Auschwitz with a concentration camp identification number tattooed on a forearm to prove it.
Szegedi says he was, at first, incredulous. “My grandmother is blonde and blue-eyed. How could she be Jewish?” he remembers thinking. “Then I looked in the mirror,” he goes on, “and I thought, ‘This is not what a Jew looks like.’”

When I saw the headline, I thought it was about Soros.
Clayton Bigsberg?
I was watching a program on the National Geographic channel this last week where they showed an obvious Muslim his DNA. They told him he had markers related to (IIRC) Ashkenazi Jews. He was visibly shaken. He said he had no associations with them.
The guy didnt know his granny’s name?
Except that Soros always knew that he was Jewish. Georgi Schwartz was a teenager when he helped the Nazis victimize his fellow Hungarian Jews. The real crime, however, is not what he might have done under great pressure as a teenager. No, the great crime is that when he was asked on 60 Minutes in the early 1990s whether he regretted doing what he did, he said no. That proves that the man has no conscience and no morality, except what is good for him. While one could easily say that he has no soul, he is a human and therefore has one. But that’s soul is very, very stained.
It sounded like granny and his mom were conspiring to hide their Jewish heritage.
Lots of non-Jewish Kleins in central Europe. Common name. Means “small” in German.
I have a jewish grandparent but he was my paternal grandfather. I would not qualify as jewish by Israeli right of return law, but I suspect I would under Nazi racial purity laws.
