About this talk
Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is home to one of the most fascinating Jewish cultures and histories in Europe. It is a community that continues to flourish despite the many challenges it has faced. I invite you on a virtual tour in which I will share stories about this community, from the era of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, through the Holocaust and the communist period, to the present day.
We will explore Budapest's Jewish Quarter, home to the city's three largest synagogues, as well as numerous hidden synagogues and lesser-known community buildings. While this district has become one of the capital's most popular and gentrified areas—filled with bars, shops, restaurants, and nightlife—it still retains a vibrant Jewish presence.
I invite you to discover this unique place with me, exploring stories and sites that reveal the complexity and richness of this historic neighborhood.
