Hungarian president apologizes for WWII crimes BELGRADE — Hungarian President Janos Ader has stated that his country Hungary condemns all its citizens who committed war crimes against innocent Serbs in WW2. Addressing a special session of the Serbian parliament in Belgrade, he asked forgiveness for the crimes. The crimes in question were committed by fas­cist Hungarian forces who occupied northern Serbia during the Second World War. Free, democratic Hungary condemns those who acted against innocent Serbs, multiplying their suffering, Ader said address­ing Serbian MPs. “The crimes cannot be annulled, but mutual for­giveness and apology can strengthen trust between Serbia and Hungary, which do not want just to live side by side but also in the community of peoples of central Europe,” he said. Ader referred to a statement Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic gave during his visit to Budapest about how the two countries opened a new page in their mutual relations and left behind all disputes, adding it is necessary to unburden future generations of the past and that the time has come for mutual apologies. “We, today’s Hungarians and today’s Serbs stand unified with the innocent victims. We do not want our children to inherit death, lies and hatred, but rather life, righteousness and cooperation,” he stressed. The Hungarian president noted that the adoption of the declaration condemning acts against Hungarian civilians in 1944 and 1945, which took place at the Serbian parliament last week, is an important historical step which, after seven decades, puts a stamp on a chapter of painful common history, but also opens a new perspective in relations between the two people and states. “A moral man has the courage to say what deep down he knows is right, and you listened to your heart. You said what was painful and what seemed impossible to say for 70 years,” Ader pointed out. “You said that collective guilt is untenable. You said that individuals can be sinful, but not the entire people,” he added. The Hungarian president underlined that Serbia can count on Hungary as a friend and partner ready to share its experience when it comes to the EU path, b92.net Hungarian Cultural Garden celebrate 75th anniversary The Cleveland Hungarian Cultural Garden on Martin Luther King Drive will celebrates its 75th anniversary at 2:30 p.m. July 20 in the lower garden. The event, which is free and open to the public, will include the dedication of the new Legacy Wall, Hungarian entertainment and light refreshments. Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson is expected to attend. Reservations are required for a separate event at 5:30 p.m. in Bratenahl. HISTORY OF THE HUNGARIAN CULTURAL GARDEN: The Cleveland Cultural Gardens came into existence in 1925 as a federation of nation­ality groups that came together “to foster the spirit of good-will and fellowship among men, to weld harmony among Clevelanders of diverse origin, and to promote good citizenship.” In rapid succession, new gardens were created. It was on March 30, 1934 that an ordinance authorized establishing the Hungarian Cultural Garden, along with Polish, Czech, and Yugoslav gardens. In 1938, Rusin, Grecian, Syrian, American, Irish and American Legion Peace Gardens were added. For the promotion of the Hungarian Cultural Garden project, a Cultural Garden Committee of the United Hungarian Societies of Cleveland was formed. On September 24, 1934, the commission gave public notice of its initial venture. The work of creating the Hungarian Cultural Garden was now actively under way. The site that would become the Hungarian Cultural Garden was dedicated October 21, 1934, on the 123rd anniversary of the birth of Ferenc Liszt, with the unveiling of the bas-relief plaque of the world famous Hungarian composer. The Hungarian Cultural Garden was formally dedicated on July 10, 1938. A color­ful parade of some 5,000 members of Hungarian organizations, many of them in native costumes, marched along lower East Boulevard to the speaker stand at the lower end of the Hungarian Garden. A crowd of 15,000 persons took part in the dedication. On September 7, 1941, a 40-foot steel flagpole and an American flag were dedicated in an impressive ceremony in the Hungarian Garden. On July 23, 1950, at the conclusion of the annual One World Day celebration, marking the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Cultural Gardens, a bronze statue of Imre Madách, the philosophical dramatist and author of “The Tragedy of Man,” was dedicated. Dedication of a memorial to another outstanding figure in Hungary’s great literary history took place on May 23, 1954, with the presentation to the Hungarian Cultural Garden of a bronze bust of the extraordinary poet, Endre Ady. news-herald.com The: English Page of the Hírlap can serve as a bridge between the non-Hungarian-speaking members of the fam­ily and the community.
