'Pure Nazi' speech made Hungary PM Viktor Orban’s adviser Hegedus resign
Zsuzsa Hegedus, who has known the nationalist Mr Orban for 20 years, described the speech as a "pure Nazi text", according to Hungarian media.
The International Auschwitz Committee of Holocaust survivors called the speech "stupid and dangerous".
Mr Orban's spokesman said the media had misrepresented the comments.
The speech occurred on Saturday in Romania's region with a significant Hungarian community.
In it, Mr Orban said European peoples should be free to mix but that mixing with non-Europeans created a "mixed-race world".
"We are willing to mix, but we do not want to become peoples of mixed race," he said.
Mr Orban's anti-migration views are well known, but for Ms Hegedus, Saturday's speech crossed a line.
"I don't know how you didn't notice that the speech you delivered is a purely Nazi diatribe worthy of Joseph Goebbels," she wrote in her resignation letter, according to the Hungarian Avg. hu news website.
Goebbels was the head of Adolf Hitler's propaganda ministry.
Hungary's most prominent Jewish group condemned the speech and called for a meeting with Mr Orban.
