Interviews: Local Remembrance of the Holocaust – Pápa

Presentation material from interviews conducted by Barbara Mágocsi, a student at Széchenyi István University in Győr

At the Apáczai Csere János Faculty of Education, Humanities and Social Sciences at Széchenyi István University in Győr, six students majoring in social pedagogy and sociology conducted a series of interviews as part of their course entitled “Jewishness – Acceptance – Exclusion” launched at the initiative of our Foundation in September 2025.

Barbara Mágocsi conducted her interviews in Pápa and, to a lesser extent, in the neighbouring villages of Vinár and Nemesszalók on 7 and 11-12.

Below, we present the PowerPoint presentation prepared by Barbara for the closing session of the course, held in Győr on November 14, 2025, which, in addition to the questions asked in the interviews, also provides a brief overview of the history of the Jewish community in Pápa. We thank her for allowing us to publish her summary.

The editor has made only the most necessary changes to the answers to the questions to aid clarity.
