The point the king is trying to make is, essentially, that while what Hitler did was considered legal and while what the Hungarian Freedom Fighters did was illegal, it is all a matter of human rights. While what Hitler did may have been legal, it was not morally correct to kill 6 million people. And while it was illegal to aid the Jews and provide comfort, it is morally correct to help these people in a time of need, as stated by the golden rule of every religion, do unto others as you would like to have done to you. It is mostly based on what people believe is correct and if certain people believed what Hitler believed, they would not have that certain moral correctness. So in standing up for what you believe in, a change can be made based on the actions; illegal or not.
