(CNN) Clarissa Ward - Anti-Semitism is alive and well across Europe, according to a CNN survey of more than 7,000 adults across seven European countries. 42% of Hungarians think Jews have too much influence in finance and business. Almost one in five Europeans (18%) agree that most anti-Semitism in their country is a response to the "everyday behavior of Jewish people." In Poland, 50% of people think that Jews use the Holocaust to advance their position. Poland's Chief Rabbi, Michael Schudrich, said, "There will always be people who had anti-Semitic feelings and I don't know if the number has grown but this new situation today is they feel that it's more acceptable socially that they can express these opinions out loud....The feeling beforehand was there was a social taboo against anti-Semitism."
