Hungarian school textbooks have been found to provide detailed and balanced coverage of Jewish history, the Holocaust, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to a new report by a peace and tolerance education institute. The study examined a range of textbooks and found that Jews are portrayed as an integral part of Hungary's history and society, with ancient ties to the Land of Israel and significant contributions to the country's development. The Holocaust is covered in depth, with personal stories and context for antisemitism, while the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is presented objectively, including perspectives rarely seen in other European curricula.

The report also notes that modern Israel is depicted as a democratic nation with technological and economic achievements, though Hungarian collaboration with Nazi Germany is sometimes partially defended in the texts. Overall, the curriculum is praised for its positivity and inclusivity towards Jewish history, standing out as a model at a time when antisemitism is rising in Europe. Previous research by the institute has found similarly positive trends in some countries, but more concerning patterns in others.
