The following may be entirely unconnected to your post Jan, in which case I apologize in advance. Some years ago I received a telephone call from a Hungarian gentleman living in Canada. The call was polite but it was clear from the timing and style of it that it seemed to me to be a clear warning over research I was then conducting. He had close connections to Fort Bragg.
This event made me think about - not so much post communist era Hungarians - but the fact that Hungary was the first minor power to join the Axis powers in WWII. Two SS Divisions, the SS Hunyadi and the Hungaria (the 25th and 26th Waffen-Grenadier Division der SS) were formed of Hungarian nationals.

So when people speak of Hungarians I quite unreasonably I suppose, begin to wonder if they were ever part of the Nazi SS that got out via the Ratlines. Canada was, of course, one of the destinations that Ratline SS types were sent to by the British (along with South Africa, Australia etc) to start a new life, but ready to be recalled into action if needed.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
