Antigypsyism and Antisemitism in Hungary
Author(s):
In partnership with the Department of Social Psychology at Eötvös Lóránd University (ELTE) and in cooperation with Social Development Institute, Political Capital participated in a research project supported by the Foundation “Remembrance, Responsibility, and Future” (EVZ) in 2017. The project aimed at 1) identifying the specific mechanisms of antigypsyism and antisemitism triggered by social, political, economic and psychological factors; 2) evaluating projects (interventions) focusing on prejudice reduction; and 3) developing recommendations on how to fight antigypsyism and antisemitism. Within the framework of the project, the implementing organisations conducted a meta-analysis of published and unpublished works, reviewed international databases and assessed existing interventions, all related to antisemitism and antigypsyism. In addition, an online survey was conducted to test the connection between various variables that explain prejudice against Roma and Jewish people.
