00:00In 1930, Salasi joined an extreme right-wing, secret organization called Hungarian Life
00:06League.
00:07The organization's purpose was to protect what its members deemed as the superior race,
00:13which in Salasi's view included Hungarians and Germans.
00:18During the 1930s, Salasi wrote several pamphlets describing his ideology, which borrowed ideas
00:25from the Italian Fascist Movement and the German Nazi Party.
00:30Salasi played a leading role in several extreme right-wing parties such as the Nation's Will
00:35Party, which combined nationalism, the promotion of agriculture, anti-capitalism, anti-communism,
00:42and a special type of anti-Semitism called A-Semitism, which called for a society which should be
00:47completely absent of Jews.
00:49He argued that A-Semitism was not opposed to the existence of Jews per se, instead it
00:56regarded their existence as being incompatible with European society.
