HDKE exhibition on Jewish civil life in Győr between 1867 and 1944
The Holocaust Documentation Centre and Memorial Collection (HDKE) has opened a new temporary exhibition at the Páva Street institution, which is directly related to the main activities of our Foundation and the 2024 World Reunion.
The staff of the Centre, headed by Norbert Glässer, curator of the project, have succeeded in putting together a rich collection of material in an attractive and easily accessible format.
They give an insight into the emergence of modern Győr, which was greatly influenced by industrial development in the last third of the 19th century. The Jewish bourgeoisie of Győr played a significant role in this development. The exhibition shows the Jewish civil life of Győr, which was brought to an abrupt end by the Holocaust.
The official opening took place on 5 November this year.
We are planning to present the theme of this exhibition at a joint Conference of our Foundation and the HDKE in the framework of the 2024 World Reunion. Ideally, the exhibited collection will be available to visitors in Győr at that time.
It is warmly recommended to all those interested in the life of the former Jewish citizens of Győr to visit the exhibition (1094 Budapest, Páva utca 39).
