Watch: Keep Quiet 2016 123movies, Full Movie Online – Csanad Szegedi’s story is remarkable; as vice-president of Jobbik, Hungary’s far-right extremist party, Szegedi regularly espoused anti-Semitic rhetoric and Holocaust denials. He was a founder of the Hungarian Guard, a now-banned militia inspired by the Arrow Cross, a pro-Nazi party complicit in the murder of thousands of Jews during WWII. Then came a revelation which transformed his life: Szegedi’s maternal grandparents were revealed to be Jewish and his beloved grandmother an Auschwitz survivor who had hidden her faith fearing further persecution. “Keep Quiet” depicts Szegedi’s three year journey as he is guided by Rabbi Boruch Oberlander to embrace his newfound religion, forced to confront the painful truths of his family’s past, his own wrong doing and the turbulent history of his country. But is this astonishing transformation a process of genuine reparation and spiritual awakening, or is he simply a desperate man with nowhere else to turn?.
Plot: Passionate in his anti-Semitic beliefs, Csanád Szegedi was the rising star of Hungary’s far-right party until he discovers his family’s secret—his maternal grandparents were Jewish. The revelation prompts an improbable but seemingly heartfelt conversion from anti-Semite to Orthodox Jew.

Fascinating & Powerful Documentary
This film relates the story of Csanad Szegedi, in previous years a rabid anti-Semite and right-wing Hungarian nationalist, who rose to positions of power in various radical anti-Semitic groups in Hungary, while even winning a seat in the European Parliament.However, upon being confronted with his own previously unknown Jewish heritage, Szedgedi would have to decide whether he would denounce his previous views and eventually embrace his new found Jewish ties. Would he even be accepted by the Jewish community and forgiven for his past words and deeds?
This is all presented in this fascinating and powerful documentary, directed by Joseph Martin and Sam Blair. I believe it’s especially relevant in today’s times, not only here in America but throughout the world with the rise of extreme and dangerous alt-right and neo-Nazi groups.
Powerful Documentary of A Conversion
I was genuinely moved to tears in this unusual documentary of an Hungarian far right white supremacist Anti-Semite, who gets elected to Parliament and then learns his grandmother was Jewish, hence he is Jewish. But since he is inclined toward extremes, he then becomes an Orthodox Jew, including Bar Mitzvah and Circumcision, and visits Auschwitz. The question of how permanent this conversion will be is not known, as it is too recent to tell. The issue that I find so hard to understand is how so many people can act like they chose what they are, and thus feel they have more rights than other racial or religious groups. We are all accidents of birth, and should only be judged by our behavior, not our race or national origin. Very thought provoking and touching story that needs to have a larger audience. It reminded me of an EC comic story in the 50’s where a white racist finds out he has a mixed black neighbor and tries to drive him out of his neighborhood, eventually leading the neighbor to commit suicide, only to find out he himself had his life saved by a transfusion from a black man. Too bad some need to have this kind of experience to realize how ignorant they have been behaving.
