Mr. Laszlo Pasztor

National President Emeritus

Dear Mr. Pasztor,

My thanks to you and the National Federation of American Hungarians for Stephen Sisa's book, The Spirit of Hungary. I hope you will extend to the membership my appreciation, especially for the kind inscription.

You are kind to think of me, and I am grateful for your generosity.

With best wishes,
Laura Bush

It turns out that Laszlo Pasztor is a Nazi Collaborator.

Prescott Bush was cozy with the Nazis, it apparently still goes on with his descendants.

8/2/88--A Bush campaign news conference announces the
formation of Coalition of American Nationalities to coordinate
the campaign activities of various ethnic groups.

9/08/88--The story offically surfaces in the press when
<Washington Jewish Week> charges several Bush ethnic advisory
committee members are well-known anti-Semites and pro-fascists,
including persons who opposed the Justice Department's Office of
Special Investigation (OSI) and its probe into emigre Nazi
collaborators in the U.S. The article focuses on Bush ethnic
advisors Jerome Brentar and Ignatius Billinsky and includes
material on the Republican Heritage Groups Council, Florian
Galdau and Philip Guarino and Laszlo Pasztor from the Bellant
report. to <Washington Jewish Week> prior to publication of the article.
Bellant was not identified as the author of the PRA report until
the third article in the <Washington Jewish Week> series.]

*** Brentar has suggested the OSI search for Nazi war
criminals is a communist plot, and worked with groups claiming
the Holocaust is a Jewish hoax.

*** Billinsky, a long-time critic of OSI, is president of
the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America which Bellant
desribes as "heavily influenced but not totally controlled by"
anti-Semites, collaborators with Hitler, and apologists for
Nazism.

*** Galdau is described by Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal as
the leader of the Romanian pro-Nazi and anti-Semitic movement in
New York City.

*** Guarino is linked in published accounts to the fascist-
oriented P-2 masonic lodge in Italy, and has made racist
statements about non-white ethnic minorities.

9/15/88--The entire Bellant report is officially released.
The report includes a photo of George Bush on the campaign trail
at a July 1988 event co-sponsored by a pro-Nazi group, the
Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations. Also reproduced is a 1984
Republican ethnic pride calendar which urges the celebration of
"Croation Independence Day." The Croation state was run by a
Nazi-puppet government which oversaw the slaughter of over
500,000 Serbians and Jews.

2. The Republican Heritage Groups Council is/was full of old school Nazis
Former Iron Guard members, Austrian SS, etc... I remember when a lot of this came out in 1988. There were some curious ties to P2 as well (I think they had a representative on the council after they made Poppy Bush an honorary member).

4. "Dear Nazi,"
Edited on Mon Dec-13-04 01:28 PM by KamaAina
My husband George sends his best regards. As you know, he is a fervent supporter of your cause and is eagerly looking forward to rejoining you after his term of office ends in January of 2009. Unfortunately, much as he would like to, he cannot personally associate with you or other Nazis while he is pResident, because the liberal media would eat him alive. I am sure you will understand.

Sieg Heil!,

Pickles

Edit: Oh crikey. I actually typed 1009 for 2009. We really might be going back to the Dark Ages... :scared:

6. Many many Hungarians had Nazi ties
There was a HUGE Hungarian immigration to Cleveland after the war and many of them had ties to anti-Jewish activities back in Europe. Heck, all of the Eastern countries had this problem. Anyways, I'll withhold my judgement on the guy she's writing to because, other than a connection, there's nothing in this article that claims he himself was a Nazi collaborator.

7. Good lord, is that gang still kicking around in the NRHGC?
Back in 1992 or so, I took a class in Cultural Diversity in America. I did my paper on the NRHGC to provide a different viewpoint, and also to have an excuse to research these folks. (Basically, the idea was that 'cultural diversity' encompasses more than just black-brown-white, and that not everything which flies a 'cultural diversity' banner is necessarily liberal.)

The weird thing was, the people I talked with at the NRHGC - yes, even in Paztor's office -were nicer than my professor. I got the closest thing to failing I could get due to the "inappropriate content" of the research paper, and also didn't get a grade until more than a month after the class ended. So much for blowing whistles. I'll have to dig around to see if I can find that paper somewhere.
