Seven Years of Prayer Key to Opening Soviet Union
By Editorial Staff
Published April 1, 1989
Recent changes within the Soviet Union have surprised most political observers, but those who have had close contact with Christians inside the nation say the elections and new emphasis on a free market, along with increasing religious freedom, are not surprising. "What happens now in the Soviet Union is not the result of politics or a leader," said Brother Hamm, a well-known Russian evangelist. "Such great changes in such a short time are absolutely the result of many, many prayers of Christians worldwide."
In 1984, Open Doors Ministries launched "Seven Years of Prayer for the Soviet Union," with teams committed to praying around-the-clock. "We had people from our regional offices from all over the world praying daily for the Soviet Union," said Chris Woehr, news editor for News Network International (NNI), which is affiliated with Open Doors. According to officials with NNI's Holland office, over 1000 are participating in the international prayer link.
When the "Seven Years of Prayer" began, its emphasis was on asking God to open up the Soviet Union to Christianity. Soon after, the term glasnost, which means "openness," began to surface in international news whenever reports were released from the USSR.
"We haven't been surprised at the changes behind the Iron Curtain because of our prayer," Woehr added. In February 1984, Open Doors published a list of 307 Christians imprisoned for their faith in the USSR. Since the publication of that list, the number has been reduced to 21. Vladimir Poresk, who was one of the first prayer targets, was released in 1986. In 1987 a prayer campaign was launched for the release of Alexander Ogorodnikov, and he was freed later that year.

Massacre of Innocence (DVD)
Exposing The Occult Roots of Abortion
This presentation looks at the spiritual roots of abortion and exposes the myths surrounding child killing. Little known historical facts about abortion and how they relate to modern feminism are presented logically and accurately. Has been effective in converting many to a pro-life position.
Massacre of Innocence goes where no pro-life presentation has gone before in "tearing the lid off abortion" to reveal the spiritual realities we must battle if we will bring an end to this crime. The presentation is absorbing, fast-paced, informative and incredibly devastating to any attempt to justify abortion.
"… an extraordinary statement … a powerfully articulate presentation about what abortion really means, and why a great and moral nation like the United States must not allow the slaughter to continue."
— Congressman Robert K. Dornan

Why Creeds and Confessions? (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 219 pages
Foundations in Biblical Orthodoxy
Driving down a country road sometime, you might see a church with a sign proudly proclaiming: "No book but the Bible — No creed but Christ." The problem with this statement is that the word creed (from the Latin: credo) simply means "belief." All Christians have beliefs, regardless of whether they are written.
Yet a single book containing the actual texts of the most important creeds of the early Church will not often be found. Out of the multitude of works on the evangelical Christian book market today, those dealing with the creeds of the Church are scarce.
Why Creeds and Confessions? provides a foundation of biblical orthodoxy as a defense against the false and truly heretical doctrines advanced by the spirit of this age.

The Abortion Matrix: Defeating Child Sacrifice and the Culture of Death (DVD)
Download the free Study Guide!
Is there a connection between pagan religion and the abortion industry?
This powerful presentation traces the biblical roots of child sacrifice and then delves into the social, political and cultural fall-out that this sin against God and crime against humanity has produced in our beleaguered society.
Conceived as a sequel and update to the 1988 classic, The Massacre of Innocence, the new title, The Abortion Matrix, is entirely fitting. It not only references abortion's specific target – the sacred matrix where human beings are formed in the womb in the very image of God, but it also implies the existence of a conspiracy, a matrix of seemingly disparate forces that are driving this holocaust.
The occult activity surrounding the abortion industry is exposed with numerous examples. But are these just aberrations, bizarre yet anomalous examples of abortionists who just happen to have ties to modern day witchcraft? Or is this representative of something deeper, more sinister and even endemic to the entire abortion movement?
As the allusion to the film of over a decade ago suggests, the viewer may learn that things are not always as they appear to be. The Abortion Matrix reveals the reality of child-killing and strikes the proper moral chord to move hearts to fulfill the biblical responsibility to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 24:11,12; 31:8,9).
Speakers include: George Grant, Peter Hammond, RC Sproul Jr., Paul Jehle, Lou Engle, Rusty Thomas, Flip Benham, Janet Porter and many more.

Welcome to the forum, MMT! Hope you enjoy your stay.
So, as for your questions/statements:
1. There's no such thing as too high a level of writing for this forum. The idea is to write as well as you can and then to get better; we're all learners here.
2. No better time to start, then!
1. Generally, people around here dislike generic journey fics, where the nondescript protagonist gets up, gets his first pokemon, and then starts his journey to get the badges, all as if it's a game transcription. This thread is a highly respected resource around here for wisdom on the subject.
2. I won't tell you to avoid any writers. We try to keep drama to a minimum.
3. See that thread above.
Also, check out this thread for writing info, and the rules of course.
Happy writing/reading!

Boston Duck ToursRead MoreFive Things to Know About Boston Duck Tours One of the best parts about taking a Boston Duck Tour is the cheesiness.

But despite the frivolity, guests still get a good overview of the city and learn about the history that seems to permeate every block. Read on to learn more about what makes the tours so interesting: The ducks are based on WWII vehicles. These amphibious vehicles were used during the war to transport troops over both land and water. Tourgoers see more than 30 landmarks. Depending on the route, sightseers may spot the USS Constitution, Beacon Hill, and the bar where exterior scenes for Cheers were shot. The tour guides all have flamboyant personalities. Called "conDUCKtors," the guides go by punny names such as "The Codfather" and "Amelia Airhead." ConDUCKtors know how to quack in 10 languages. Tours are led in English, but an audio program can impart info in nine other languages, including Spanish, German, and Mandarin. The tour includes discounts at spots all around Boston. Just show your ticket to save money at the Museum of Science, the New England Aquarium, and all sorts of stores and restaurants.4 Copley PlaceBoston, MA US

This book deals with the meaning of a science rooted in the sacred, the metaphysical foundation of such science, its contrast to modern science and its pertinence to some of the major issues facing humanity today. In the first part, the author turns to the fundamental question of the multiplicity of sacred forms. He discusses why it is necessary in the contemporary world to treat sacred science in the context of diverse religions. He also deals with the importance of sacred science in providing a meaningful study that would remain religiously significant of religions themselves.

Vikings | Minnesota confident in Blair Walsh Wed Mar 30, 12:23 AM
The Minnesota Vikings are confident in PK Blair Walsh despite a devastating missed chip-shot 27-yard field goal in the playoffs against the Seattle Seahawks. 'I pretty much move on, but I'm going to try to make sure that he has success as much as possible,' head coach Mike Zimmer said. 'You're always as good as your last kick, right? So we want to make sure that a lot of his kicks are good kicks now.'
|Footballguys view: Zimmer backing Walsh is the right thing to do, but Walsh had a rough summer last year and he might be prone to a loss of confidence. The Vikings shouldn't be too patient with Walsh if he struggles early in the regular season.

Great Escape [B&W]
Challenge #13 in the Let the Image Speak series. Hosted by onlooker.
Challenge has finished
Show us where you escape to when you want to be far away from the world (figuratively speaking). It can be anything or any place - a spot in the mountains, a favorite corner of the room with a good book, anything, as long as it is a place where you escape occasionally, not a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Remember - the mood of the photo is your primary objective. There must be a personal item in the photo, something that will tell us this is *your* spot. Per series' theme, let the image speak: *NO TITLES OR DESCRIPTIONS* (put a dash "-" in place of title). No classical portraits (read description here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait). If a face is visible within the scope of the person's environment, it's ok). To preserve anonymity, please no visible copyright with author's name. -- Voters: Please vote in a slideshow.

This election is a simple choice! Do we continue to be a debtor nation plummeting toward economic insolvency, a nation in steep decline, a nation that is divided by class, gender and race, a nation of declining employment, a welfare dependency nation or do we change the direction our current leaders are taking us to once again become the great nation we used to be! What kind of country will we pass on to our children? The choice could not be more simple and obvious! Romney/Ryan in November!

This election is a simple choice! Do we continue to allow the public discourse to plummet towards complete political hyperbole, an election divided by ideology instead of a substantive discussion about the tuff decisions we face, do we allow the extremes views currently being expressed to drive a wedge between us or do we stand up and say enough to people like mountainman?

Some reasons why our education system needs changes:
* half of our adults are on welfare.
* more then half of our college graduates in science, engineering, and chemistry were born in other countries.
* half of our doctors, and engineers are from other countries.
* about twenty thousand American companies are now owned by foreign investors.
* high unemployment.
* technology with smart phones, computers, American car engines, transmissions,etc, are designed by foreign engineers.
We spend a record amount on education. Standardized tests hasn't worked, and maybe we should go back to how schools were in the 50's.

when we could not find what we wanted for my, who has narrow feet, the advisor
went that extra mile and spent time and effort to get something that was fit for purpose, even showing us how to make them more comfortable by adding an insole, as she did not have my wifes' size in stock she then took our details and put the order in and assured us they would be here by Wednesday the latest, I was called by phone Monday, and we collected them today, and after making sure we were happy with the purchase she was happy to take payment, which was value for money and excellent service.
Thank you for employing such well trained staff

Slower Internet Speed For Some
If you download music or videos that you shouldn't download without paying for them, you might receive a warning from a new Alert System.
Starting this week Copyright Alert System (CAS) through several Internet service providers (ISPs) will start an anti-piracy program. Currently the providers are all from the U.S., but depending how you're connected to the internet, you might be faced with problems if you ignore the warning.
If repeated notifications are sent to violators, providers will slow down the internet speed for that address.
CAS has created a promotional video to explain what will happen to individuals if they continually to ignore warnings. (See video here.)

How often do you use the Internet? What for?
Asked at Royal Crest Lanes on October 2, 2004
"Probably once a day to check my e-mail and do research for papers. It takes anywhere from five minutes to a couple of hours."
"I use the Internet every day for work. How long varies depending on what I need to look up."
"Usually every day for business, and to read the Journal-World. I use it for about an hour a day."
"I never use the Internet. I hate personal computers."

Actually, my physical shell died long ago, and there's nothing left of me but my brain, connected to advanced life support technology. I've been hard-wired to the web for the last 3 years, so, of course, I'm on it continuously.
Let me tell you, pop-ups are a b#$ch! And that sasser worm, woowee!
I am, however, approaching a new level of development, where I can leave my physical brain behind, and defuse my conciousness into the information stream, becoming one with the internet, thus forming the INFORMATION JONAVERSE! Soon, I will control your information, and thus I will control your lives!! MWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA.
/btw, don't tell anyone!

POST-GAME QUOTES Utah State vs. Mercer March 28, 2012
Utah State Head Coach Stew Morrill...
"Mercer is a really good basketball team. You have to believe they can win this tournament when they win three games on the road. They've got a lot of different pieces to the puzzle; they've got a lot of different guys that can score. They just played smarter than us and that was basically the biggest difference. They've won 27 games for a reason. They're a good team. They came up in the second half, but we fought hard, looked like we were in good shape when we got up by six, but we couldn't get them stopped. They scored, and we kept missing, so there you go. This tournament been a really good experience for us. I've told the guys that for the last two games, that no matter what happens it's been a positive thing. It was a good way to end the year, winning some games. It's tough losing at home like this, but all in all its been good for us. The seniors got to go out winning some games rather than a two-point loss in the conference tournament. They got to keep playing and win. It's tough tonight, but overall it's a good taste in their mouths. For the young guys, like Danny Berger who had really been up and down, this tournament was really good. It's a good experience."
Sophomore Guard Preston Medlin...
"They're a great team. They won 27 games in the season, and only good teams can do that. It doesn't happen that often. They're young, but they're good. They started well in the first half and kept that up. We turned around the season with that road trip (at San Jose and Hawai'i). We fought hard to get to 21-16, and that's something that we're proud of. We went out and had fun, had a huge turnaround and started doing what we know how to do. It was a good tournament. We got five extra games on the season, which most teams don't get to see. We just need to get ready and carry it over to next year."
Mercer Head Coach Bob Hoffman...
"It has been fantastic, because we were close as a team and we have stayed in a tight circle all year. The three road wins and being on the road together I think has united us even further and solidified what these young guys believed they could do anywhere, in any place and against any odds. That is what we were able to accomplish, and it has been an unbelievable experience for our fans and our community. It is just a blessing to be a part of something this special, and we thank everyone who was a part of it."

Auckland International Airport has upgraded its profit outlook for the full year after construction of its improved domestic terminal started late but is forecast to come in under budget.
AIA has also announced an 11.3 per cent increase in net profit for the half year compared to the first half of the 2011 year, thanks in part to stronger domestic passenger traffic through its Auckland terminal - up 7.2 per cent over the same period the year before.
However the domestic terminal has long been struggling to cope with rising domestic passenger and aircraft traffic and new airport chief executive Adrian Littlewood said the short-term solution should be fully in place by June 2014.
Despite starting the domestic terminal project slightly later than expected in January, better pricing achieved in a "soft" construction market meant forecasted capital expenditure for the full year would reduce by up to $10m to between $90m and $100m.
AIA had therefore revised its full-year profit forecast upwards to between $145m and $153m.
The terminal upgrade is expected to cost a "modest investment" of $29m but will cater to new A320 aircraft, said Littlewood.
"It's really about taking the sharp edges off a legacy asset," he said.
"This [refurbishment] will allow us to carry through the period to about 2016 when we need to be delivering permanent new capacity in a new facility and we are working very closely with our airline partners and all stakeholders on designing that future."
The increase in domestic traffic included more than 600,000 passenger movements in the month of December, making it the airport's busiest month ever.
The airport said the numbers reflected the "significant positive impact of additional capacity by both Jetstar and Air New Zealand and robust competition".
Meanwhile, international passenger traffic through Auckland was down 1.8 per cent on the previous corresponding period which included significant Rugby World Cup passenger flow.
The decline also reflected a 24.5 per cent drop in transit passengers due to the axing of Qantas' Los Angeles route through Auckland from Sydney and Aerolineas Argentinas' Buenos Aires route.
AIA's half-year net profit of $76.9m came off revenue of $223.5m, up 3.6 per cent, while expenses, excluding depreciation and interest costs, were also up 4.9 per cent.
AIA reported earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, fair value adjustments and investments in associates of $166.3m, up 3.1 per cent from the first half of 2011.
The company said underlying profit had increased 7.5 per cent to $76.1m, supported by lower interest costs and higher associate-company contributions.
The NZ Superannuation Fund has sold a 7.6 per cent chunk of its stake in the airport but has kept a 1.8 per cent shareholding.
Queenstown Airport, in which AIA has 25 per cent ownership, saw international passenger volume increase, excluding transits, 16.8 per cent to 139,000 and its domestic volumes also grew 22.3 per cent to 488,000.
Queenstown Airport reported a net profit after tax of $3.1m, up 11.7 per cent on the first half of 2011.
AIA's partial stakes in North Queensland Airports, including Cairns and Mackay, had a strong six months, reporting a net profit after tax of A$9.4m, up 61.3 per cent on the prior period, however dividends paid shrank 8 per cent.
AIA announced an interim dividend of 5.75 cents per share, an increase of more than 30 per cent on the prior year interim dividend.
The dividend is payable on April 2 to shareholders on the register at March 15.

Mustang and West Marine lead the pack for comfort and quality.
by Darrell Nicholson on June 15, 2016
The danger in running before the squall (or tacking downwind, a tactic sometimes employed by Transpac racers) is the inevitable wind shift that can cause an accidental jibe. Since squalls are usually short lived, with the strongest winds lasting less than 20 minutes, simply reducing sail to a safe configuration and motoring through is a less taxing approach. What is a "safe" configuration? Gusts much over 40 knots are not common, but some devastating downbursts in excess of 50 knots can occur in volatile areas. (The fatal squall line that struck the fleet in the 2011 Chicago-Mac race is a good example).

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to safety devices, and more particularly pertains to sensing mechanisms for detecting the presence of broken escalator rollers.
2. Description of the Prior Ar
As can be appreciated, a broken roller on an escalator is very dangerous and will allow an escalator step to drop to an abnormally low position as it passes under the step combs. This creates a gap into which a person's foot can be wedged or trapped whereby serious injury may result. In extreme cases, the escalator steps can open up a gap large enough to cause the death of a user. As such, there is a continuing need for new and improved devices and methods for determining when escalator rollers break and in this respect, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of safety devices for escalators now present in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved broken roller detection device construction wherein the same can be utilized on an escalator to facilitate an automatic shut down of said escalator in the event of a malfunction. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved broken roller detector for an escalator which has all the advantages of the prior art broken roller detectors and none of the disadvantages.
To attain this, the present invention essentially comprises a detector which is designed to sense one or more broken rollers on an escalator, and to then automatically shut down the escalator to prevent damage or injury to users. Dual proximity sensors are positionable proximate a roller path so as to sense the outside diameter of each roller as the roller passes close to the sensors when the escalator is in motion. As long as each roller is intact, the sensors will transmit a symmetrical time pulse signal. A broken roller will fall away from its spool and no longer trigger the sensors, and the resulting interruption will interrupt the symmetry and turn off the escalator.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved escalator broken roller detector which has all the advantages of the prior art escalator broken roller detectors and none of the disadvantages.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved escalator broken roller detector which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved escalator broken roller detector which is of a durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved escalator broken roller detector which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such escalator broken roller detectors economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved escalator broken roller detector which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
These together with other objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and the specific objects attained by its uses, reference should be had to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there is illustrated preferred embodiments of the invention.
The invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the escalator broken roller detector comprising the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a representative electrical schematic utilizable in the construction of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating an escalator roller.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating a broken escalator roller.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view further illustrating a broken escalator roller.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the invention as viewed along the line 8--8 in FIG. 7.
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view as viewed along the line 9--9 in FIG. 8.
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIG. 1 thereof, a first embodiment of a new and improved escalator broken roller detector construction embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.
More specifically, it can be seen that the embodiment 10 includes a U-shaped housing structure 12 having first and second integrally attached, aligned arms 14, 16 and an integral attachment bracket 18 attached to the arm 16. The structure 12 can be formed of a plastic or other lightweight material, and appropriate electrical leads may be retained therein so as to be concealed from sight and to prevent damage by a moving escalator. Respectively mounted on interior portions of the arms 14, 16 are a pair of conventional sensors 18, 20 which are designed to send and receive signals therebetween and which are positionable on opposite sides of a moving escalator roller 22.
FIG. 2 is a very basic representation of a number of different electrical circuits which could be employed to carry out the function of the present invention. Recognizing the fact that the sensors 14, 16, which could be photo detectors or the like, are positionable on opposed sides of a moving roller 22, a conventional pulse generator circuit 24 may either be timed or combined with a variable timer 26 to send a signal to the first sensor/detector 14. Provided that the generated signal to the electrical lead 28 is timed with escalator movement whereby a roller 22 is positioned between the sensors 14, 16, no signal will be received by the detector 16 if an unbroken roller blocks the generated signal 30. In this regard, FIG. 3 illustrates an unbroken roller 22 while FIG. 4 illustrates the spool 32 which remains after a roller has broken and fallen away from the spool. Similarly, FIG. 5 illustrates a moving escalator assembly 34 wherein a plurality of functioning rollers 22 are illustrated along with a broken roller 32. This FIG. 5 illustrates how the escalator assembly 34 may drop a step downwardly within a track 36 as the result of a missing roller 22.
With continuing reference to FIG. 2 then, it can be appreciated that if only a spool 32 is present between the sensors/detectors 14, 16, the signal 30 will pass over the spool and be detected by the detector 16 which then can alternatively or concurrently activate an alarm 38 and an escalator stop switch 40 in a conventional and well known manner.
FIG. 6 of the drawings illustrates a modified embodiment of the invention which is generally designated by the reference numeral 42. This embodiment 42 includes a T-shaped mounting bracket 44 which is fixedly securable in a conventional manner proximate a moving escalator assembly and which includes an upstanding hollow conduit 46 through which appropriate electrical leads can be directed. The top of the conduit 46 includes a tee 48 out of which a pair of flexibly bendable metal arms 50, 52 respectively extend. The aforedescribed sensor 14 is mounted in an end of the arm 52 and the sensor/detector 16 is mounted in an end of the arm 50. This embodiment 42 is adaptable for use with various sized rollers 22 in unillustrated escalator assemblies 34 due to the fact that the sensors 14, 16 can be moved to their most advantageous positions by the respective bending and positioning of the arms 52, 50.
FIG. 7 of the drawings illustrates a third embodiment of the invention which is generally designated by the reference numeral 54. The embodiment 54 is substantially similar to the embodiment 42 with the exception that the flexible arm 52 has been replaced with a rigid U-shaped conduit member 56. A second flexible arm 58 extends out of an end 60 of the member 56 and facilitates the selective positioning of the sensor 14 so as to have it aligned with the sensor 16 in a now understood manner. A setscrew 62 facilitates the up and down positioning of the arm member 56 so as to bring a roller cleaning brush 64 into engagement with a roller 22 when desired.
Viewing FIGS. 8 and 9 in conjunction with FIG. 7, it can be seen that the brush 64 includes a plurality of rigid bristles 66 which serve to loosen and brush away debris from a roller 22, and further includes a flexibly moveable, angulated scraper 68 which serves to capture the loosened debris and direct it to an outside edge of the roller, thereby to prevent an accumulation of dirt and other residue within the roller guide track 36.
As to the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.

Hungary's Jews vote to boycott holocaust memorial which "rewrites history"
| updated at xx
Hungary's main Jewish organisation has voted to stay away from official Holocaust commemorations this year unless they more clearly show the role of Hungarians in deporting Jews.
The Federation of Jewish Communities in Hungary, (Mazsihisz), says a planned statue and memorial centre in Budapest play down Hungarian collaboration with the Nazis.
Mazsihisz leader Gusztáv Zoltai was deported to a concentration camp by Hungarian soldiers when he was 8.
"Neither my mother nor my father were put on the wagons by Germans, but by Hungarians who passed them over to the Germans. Of course it is not only about taking responsiblity, but people need to acknowledge that it happened this way, "Zoltai said.
The planned statue would depict Hungary as a victim of German aggression when in fact the country's wartime fascist government was an ally of Hitler.
Mazsihisz also wants the government to remove the director of a new history institute because he called a 1941 deportation of tens of thousands of Jews "a policy procedure for foreign nationals."
It will be 70 years since June 1944 when the Nazis occupied Hungary. 437,000 Jews were sent to Nazi death camps within weeks.
The Jewish group is waiting for a promised response from the prime minister this week.
Euronews correspondent in Budapest, Andrea Hajagos, says the issue of the statue has became quite unpleasant for the government, especially now, less than 2 months before the election, as the question of this monument has become one of the main topics in this campaign.
