Following the death of Ján Langoš , the director of the National Memory Institute , in 2006 , the rightwing Slovak National Party ( SNS ) proposed Bielik as a candidate for his replacement . In an article the previous year , Bielik had criticized the documentary '' Miluj blížneho svojho '' ( " Love thy neighbor " ) , about the Topoľčany pogrom , because he felt it was anti-Catholic . Instead , Bielik cited contemporary reports stating that " the Jews behaved very arrogantly and imperiously , trying to systematically occupy important positions in the economic , public , and political spheres " . In his article , Bielik made no mention of the Holocaust , which claimed the lives of the majority of Slovak Jews , and was perpetrated by the collaborationist Slovak State in concert with Nazi Germany
