The “Secret Society” of Hungarians
Personal Note.: You will notice that a huge chunk of famous Hungarians are of Jewish descent as well. While most of Europe may have harbored antisemitic tendencies for hundreds of years, the Hungarian inclusiveness could not be more well demonstrated than with the below list. Which is why it was such a colossal slap in the face, and unforgivable betrayal, what we were willing to do to mitigate Trianon 1 territory losses. (Frankly, after that, we deserved Trianon 2. Though the first one was an ungrateful cultural genocide against the Hungarians by Entente diplomats: European countries devoured the Hungarian land and common folks, US extracted the brains and talent pool, while USSR set up a bloody buffer zone with our corpses . I hope I summed up well how I feel.)
“Remember that you are Hungarian, that the blood of Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan courses through your veins, that you belong to a proud nation, a nation of warriors and lovers, of passion and violence, intrigue, and imagination. …… Remember that you are a Gabor and that, as a Gabor, you are born to survive.” (Quote by Jolie/ Janka Gabor to her daughter, ZsaZsa) https://kidadl.com/articles/zsa-zsa-gabor-quotes-for-budding-beauty-queens
