András Kovács

Analyzes the results of a survey conducted in Hungary in March 1995, based on questionnaires distributed to ca. 1,500 subjects aged 18+ years. 29% of the population are not antisemitic; 25% are antisemitic (8% of them extreme antisemites); 32% accept traditional antisemitic stereotypes, but are not antisemitic. Antisemitism in Hungary is currently a Budapest phenomenon; prejudice is scant in other localities. No significant correlation was found with age, education, and socioeconomic status. Feelings of frustration and anomie, in combination with religious-conservative ideology, lead to xenophobia. Compares this survey with one conducted in 1991 (by the American Jewish Committee), in 1995 and 1996 (by Vienna University), and others by Hungarian scholars.
