Csanád Szegedi (born 22 September 1982) is a Hungarian politician and former Member of the European Parliament.〔(europarl.europa.eu: Szegedi Csanád )〕 He was a member of the Hungarian radical nationalist Jobbik political party between 2003 and 2012, which has been accused of anti-Semitism. In 2012, Szegedi gained international attention after acknowledging that he had Jewish roots. He was also accused of previous bribery to try to keep that revelation a secret,〔 and subsequently resigned from all Jobbik political posts. ==Personal life== Szegedi was born in Miskolc. His father, Miklós Szegedi, is a famous wood carving sculptor, and his mother, Katalin Molnár (Meisels Jewish descent), is a software engineer.〔(Szegedi Csanád az ellene zajlott karaktergyilkosságról )〕〔("Az számít, hogy ki hogyan viszonyul a magyarság ügyéhez" - anyai ági zsidó származásáról nyilatkozik Szegedi Csanád ), Kuruc.info〕 He has a brother, Márton Szegedi, who was Jobbik's mayoral candidate in Miskolc, but left the party in 2012.〔(Szegedi Márton is kilépett a Jobbikból )〕 He graduated from Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary. Between 1999 and 2010 he organized trips to Transylvania, a historic region belonging to Hungary until 1920. In 2002 he published a book on old Hungarian personal names. Between 2006 and 2012 he also had a clothing line called Turul, named after the mythical bird of Hungarian legends. Prior to the revelation of Szegedi's partial Jewish origin, Szegedi was notorious for his incendiary comments about Jews.〔(Leader of anti-Semitic party in Hungary discovers he is Jewish thestar.com, August 14, 2012 )〕 In June 2012, Szegedi revealed that he had recently learned that his grandparents on his mother's side were Jewish: his maternal grandmother survived the Auschwitz concentration camp, and his maternal grandfather was a veteran of forced labor camps.〔 Under Jewish religious ritual laws this makes Szegedi a Jew.〔 Szegedi was raised Hungarian Reformed and did not initially practice the Jewish religion. Szegedi said he had defined himself as someone with "ancestry of Jewish origin — because I declare myself 100 percent Hungarian."〔 He turned to Rabbi Slomó Köves, of the Lubavitch movement, for help. He adopted the name Dovid, wore a kippah, learnt Hebrew, visited Israel, and had himself circumcised.〔The truth about neo-Nazis, by the Jew who was one. Peter Popham. The Independent. Thursday 12 June 2014. http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/the-truth-about-neonazis-by-the-jew-who-was-one-9532478.html accessed 13 June 2014〕 Szegedi now lives as a practicing Jew, observing the Sabbath and attending synagogue.〔Ofer Aderet, ('Former anti-Semitic Hungarian leader now keeps Shabbat,' ) at Haaretz, Oct. 21, 2013.〕 In August 2012 he apologized to Rabbi Köves for his anti-semitic remarks,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Szegedi Csanád felkereste Köves Slomó rabbit - HVG online, 2012. augusztus 6. )〕 and in 2013 he traveled to Israel where he and his wife visited the Western Wall and the Yad Vashem Museum. Recently he has been interested in arts; his paintings are influenced by his newly found religion. A documentary film is being produced about his journey from anti-semite to Orthodox Jew.〔http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/175217#.UrDJjfRBkwE〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Csanád Szegedi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
