Hungary's Jews vote to boycott holocaust memorial which rewrites history
Hungary's main Jewish organisation has voted to stay away from official Holocaust commemorations this year unless they more clearly show the role of Hungarians in deporting Jews.
The Federation of Jewish Communities in Hungary, (Mazsihisz), says a planned statue and memorial centre in Budapest play down Hungarian collaboration with the Nazis.
Mazsihisz leader Gusztáv Zoltai was deported to a concentration camp by Hungarian soldiers when he was 8.

Visegrád castle | Hungary #4
A visit to Visegrád castle. This imposing ruin towers high above a bend in the Danube, providing spectacular views in all directions. The castle and town of Visegrád have played an important role in the history of Hungary. King Charles I (d. 1342) made it the kingdom's capital in 1325 until the royal seat was moved back to Buda in the early fifteenth century.

Budapest:
The neo-Gothic Parliament, the biggest building in Hungary with its 268 metres (879 ft) length, containing amongst other things the Hungarian Crown Jewels. Saint Stephen's Basilica, where the Holy Right Hand of the founder of Hungary, King Saint Stephen is on display. The Hungarian cuisine and café culture: for example, Gerbeaud Café, and the Százéves, Biarritz, Fortuna, Alabárdos, Arany Szarvas, Kárpátia and the world-famous Mátyás Pince Restaurants. There are Roman remains at the Aquincum Museum, and historic furniture at the Nagytétény Castle Museum, just 2 out of 223 museums in Budapest. Another historical museum is the House of Terror, hosted in the building that was the venue of the Nazi Headquarters. The Castle Hill, the River Danube embankments and the whole of Andrássy út have been officially recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Castle Hill and the Castle District; there are three churches here, six museums, and a host of interesting buildings, streets and squares. The former Royal Palace is one of the symbols of Hungary – and has been the scene of battles and wars ever since the 13th century. Nowadays it houses two impressive museums and the National Széchenyi Library. The nearby Sándor Palace contains the offices and official residence of the President of Hungary. The seven-hundred-year-old Matthias Church is one of the jewels of Budapest, it is in neo-Gothic style, decorated with coloured shingles and elegant pinnacles. Next to it is an equestrian statue of the first king of Hungary, King Saint Stephen, and behind that is the Fisherman's Bastion, built in 1905 by the architect Frigyes Schulek, the Fishermen's Bastions owes its name to the namesake corporation that during the Middle Ages was responsible of the defence of this part of ramparts, from where opens out a panoramic view of the whole city. Statues of the Turul, the mythical guardian bird of Hungary, can be found in both the Castle District and the Twelfth District.
In Pest, arguably the most important sight is Andrássy út. This Avenue is an elegant 2.5 kilometres (2 miles) long tree-lined street that covers the distance from Deák Ferenc tér to the Heroes Square. On this Avenue overlook many important sites. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As far as Kodály körönd and Oktogon both sides are lined with large shops and flats built close together. Between there and Heroes' Square the houses are detached and altogether grander. Under the whole runs continental Europe's oldest Underground railway, most of whose stations retain their original appearance. Heroes' Square is dominated by the Millenary Monument, with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front. To the sides are the Museum of Fine Arts and the Kunsthalle Budapest, and behind City Park opens out, with Vajdahunyad Castle. One of the jewels of Andrássy út is the Hungarian State Opera House. Statue Park, a theme park with striking statues of the Communist era, is located just outside the main city and is accessible by public transport.
The Jews of Hungary Everyday Life at CJH

Jozsef Faludi An Orthodox Childhood (Hungarian Audio | English Subtitle)
Jozsef, who attended both a religious and a secular school as a child, paints for us a picture of growing up in the bustling, small Jewish community of the small Hungarian town of Kiskoros. His father, an orthodox Jew, served in the First World War and had a small leather goods shop.
Jozsef attended yeshiva, and in 1939 emigrated to Palestine, where he worked in a dressmaker's shop in Tel Aviv . Jozsef left his orthodoxy behind and married a Yemini woman, Zarum Mazal, who he met through the Communist party. His family, who remained in Hungary, were all killed during the Holocaust.
Jozsef and Zarum retumed to Hungary in 1948 and changed their name from Fogler to Faludi (more Hungarian sounding). They had three sons. Although not in the film, Jozsef did not pass on Jewish traditions to his sons; none married Jews.
Jozsef joined the Communist Party in 1949, which helped him find a job as a manual laborer. Jozsef never returned to Judaism, but gives private Hebrew and Yiddish lessons at home.

Élet egy ortodox zsidó közösségben Magyarország egy kis településén, Kiskőrösön. József apja, Fogler Emánuel ortodox zsidó volt, de katonaként szolgált az első világháborúban. Családját egy kis bőrkereskedésből tartotta el. József, aki először zsidó elemibe, majd állami polgári iskolába járt, nagyon szemléletesen mutatja be a gyerekkorát, különösen a zsidó hagyományokat, amelyet családja szigorúan tartott. Tizenhárom éves korában József jesivába került, és itt folytatatta tanulmányait 1939-ig, amikor kivándorolt Palesztinába. Tel Avivban egyik nagynénje ruhaszalonjában kezdett dolgozni. József ekkor már nem tartotta a vallási tradíciókat, hanem a Kommunista Párt összejöveteleire kezdett járni. Itt ismerkedett meg egy jemeni zsidóval, Zarum Mazallal, akivel 1946-ban összeházasodtak. József Magyarországon maradt családtagjait meggyilkolták a holokausztban.
József 1948-ban tért vissza Magyarországra Mazallal és első fiúkkal. Ekkor változtatta nevét Foglerről Faludira. Három fiúk született, mindhármat körülmetéltették, de József nem adta tovább a zsidó hagyományokat fiainak, és egyikük sem zsidó asszonyt vett feleségül.
József 1949-ben csatlakozott a Magyar Kommunista Párthoz, a párton keresztül talált munkát is, fizikai munkásként dolgozott. Soha nem tért vissza a valláshoz, de a rendszerváltás után héber és jiddis órákat kezdett adni otthon.
Synagogue in Eger, Hungary
SEE MY HISTORY SITE ON FACEBOOK :
The name Eger may derive from the Hungarian word Égerfa (alder tree). In German, the town was known as Erlau. That name was adopted in Yiddish.
Eger was founded in the 10th century by St. Stephen (997 - 1038), the first Christian king of Hungary, who founded an episcopal congregation in Eger. The first cathedral of Eger was built on Castle Hill, within the present site of the Eger Castle. Eger grew up around its former cathedral and has remained an important Christian religious centre in Hungary since its foundation.
The first records of Jews in Eger are on 11 April 1465, in a will written by Andrew Csetniki of Eger, he lists his valuables and that he had pawned a gem and a gold ring to Jósa, a Jew and in 1495, the Bishop of Eger, Thomas Bakócz, in his bank account statement, a Jewish name of Johanni is recorded.
In 1552, during the Turkish advance into Central Hungary, Eger became an important border fortress, successfully defended by Hungarian forces. In 1596, Eger was attacked by a bigger army of Turks who, after a brief siege, took over the Castle. Eger then came under Ottoman rule for 91 years.
Driven from Spain in 1492, Jews found refuge in the Ottoman Empire. Spanish was spoken and most of the Jews followed the Sephardic Jewish rite. Jewish communities were formed and they turned to the rabbis of Constantinople and Salonica. Jews held leases, government positions and high military posts and freely traded in commerce.
The rule of the Turks in central Hungary began to collapse after a failed Ottoman attempt to capture Vienna in 1685. The Vienna-based Habsburgs, who controlled the rest of Hungary, apart from Transylvania, steadily expelled the Turks from the country. In 1687, Eger Castle was starved into surrender. With the end of Turkish rule, Turks and Jews left Eger.
In 1695, the holder of the city, Bishop George Fenessy forbade non Catholics to dwell in Eger. It was not until 1840 that Jews received permanent residence permits although some were there earlier and theywere allowed to live in the countryside near the town.
In 1840, the Hungarian parliament allowed Jews to move into the towns.
A synagogue was consecrated in 1851 and, by 1885, numerous small Jewish communities were affiliated with the congregation. In 1878, the community split into two separate Orthodox and Status Quo Ante communities.
In 1873, the Eger Credit Institute of Commerce and Industry was established by a mixture of Jews and Christian Germans.
In 1890, the Jewish population grew to 2,396 (10.7% of the total). In 1929, 400 Jewish families lived in Eger.
The publication of the Hungarian racial laws of 1940 seriously undermined the economic position of the Jews. In 1942, Jewish males between18 and 42 years of age were drafted into the labor battalions and sent to the Russian front where most perished. The local bishop, Gyula Czapik, forbade parish priests from assisting extremist groups. Eight Jewish women were saved by working in the bishop's kitchen. On 8 June 1944, the Jews of Eger were deported to Auschwitz.
In World War II, the city suffered under the retreating German army and the arriving Soviet army, but it managed to escape major bombardment.
In November 1945, the Jewish community in Eger totaled about 150 souls, mostly the ex-forced labor unit members and some women. In April 1946, a memorial was inaugurated in the courtyard of the children's school, to memorialize the children who were deported and murdered.
In 1949, the Eger Status Quo Ante Jewish community numbered 294. The native Jews of Eger started moving elsewhere before the war and that movement from Eger continued in the post-war years. Many people moved to the capital, Budapest, and even more people left Hungary. The momentum of immigration was motivated by the 1956 Hungarian Revolution when there was an increase in anti-Semitic attacks and about 20,000 Jews emigrated from Hungary. The emigration of the more religious and the death of the elderly severely affected Eger's Jewish community life. Fewer people frequented the synagogue, even on the high holidays. In the late 1960's, the Status Quo Ante synagogue was demolished since it had not been used for prayer, and the Unicorn Hotel and Restaurant was built on the site.
In 2004, a memorial tablet was inaugurated on the wall of the Orthodox synagogue in Eger and at the railway station of Maklar. Every year, a Holocaust martyr memorial service is organized at the cemetery.
Today, Eger is a prosperous city and popular tourist destination, with a charming Baroque town center, historic sights and thermal baths. Eger has a population of over 56,000 inhabitants (2005). The postwar Jewish community in Eger numbered about 300, in 1959, but only about 20 Jews live there today (2010), mostly the very elderly.

[3DHD] Royal Palace / Királyi palota / Pałac Królewski, Visegrád, Hungary / Magyarország / Węgry
The palace complex was laid out on a square ground plan measuring 123 x 123 m. A garden adjoined to it from the north and a Franciscan friary, founded by King Sigismund in 1424, from the south. In the time of Louis I and Sigismund, the palace was the official residence of the kings of Hungary until about 1405-08. Between 1477-84 Matthias Corvinus had the palace complex reconstructed in late Gothic style. The Italian Renaissance architectural style was used for decoration, the first time the style appeared in Europe outside Italy. After the Ottoman Turks' siege in 1544 the palace fell into ruins, and by the 18th century it was completely covered by earth. Its excavation began in 1934 and continues today. At present, the reconstructed royal residence building is open to the public, and houses exhibitions on the history of the palace and reconstructed historical interiors.( )

Extended version (no music):
1323-ban Károly Róbert Visegrádra helyezte székhelyét és a városban egy királyi házat építtetett, amelyet először az 1330-as, Záh Felicián által, a királyi család ellen megkísérelt merénylet szinhelyeként említ a Képes krónika.
A királyi házat I. Lajos bővítette ki több lépésben palotává. A ma romjaiban álló épület a 14. század utolsó negyedében épült, részben még I. Lajos, részben már Zsigmond király uralkodása alatt. A 123 m x 123 m-es, szabályos elrendezésű palotához észak felől kert, dél felől a Zsigmond által 1424-ben, a régebbi királyi kápolna helyén alapított ferences kolostor csatlakozott.
1405--1408 között Zsigmond a székhelyét Visegrádról Budára helyezte át, a visegrádi palota ettől kezdve vidéki rezidenciává vált. 1476--1484 között Mátyás király a palotát késő gótikus stílusban felújíttatta. Az épület egyes részein reneszánsz elemek is megjelentek: a Herkules-kút és a Múzsák-kútja, a díszudvar loggiája, a kápolna orgonakarzata és oltárai. Ezek az első emlékei az Alpokon túli Európában az itáliai reneszánsz stílusnak. A palotát az 1544-es török hódítás után elhagyták, így az épület rommá vált. Romjait a 18. században lebontották. Feltárása 1934-ben indult meg, és napjainkban is tart. Műemléki helyreállítása során az egykori királyi lakóépület és a kert helyreállítása készült el. Ma az épületben a Mátyás Király Múzeum kiállításai láthatóak: A királyi palota története és rekonstruált enteriőrjei.( )

Zespół pałacowy został założony na planie kwadratu o wymiarach 123 x 123 m. Ogród przylegający do niego od północy założony został przez króla Zygmunta w 1424. W czasach Ludwika I i Zygmunta, pałac był oficjalną rezydencją królów Węgier, do roku około 1405-1408. W latach 1477-84 Maciej Korwin przebudował kompleks pałacowy w stylu późnego gotyku. Włoski renesansowy styl architektoniczny został tu użyty do dekoracji, po raz pierwszy w Europie poza Włochami. Po oblężenia Turków osmańskich w 1544 pałac popadł w ruinę, i przez XVIII w został całkowicie przykryty ziemią. Prace wykopaliskowe rozpoczęto w 1934 roku i trwają do dziś. Obecnie, zrekonstruowany budynek królewskiej rezydencji jest otwarty dla publiczności, i udostępnia wystawę o historii pałacu i rekonstrukcji wnętrz.

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Charles and Chief Rabbi Róbert Frölich in the Dohány Street Synagogue, the largest synagogue in Europe
In Pest, arguably the most important sight is Andrássy út. This Avenue is an elegant 2.5 kilometres (2 miles) long tree-lined street that covers the distance from Deák Ferenc tér to the Heroes Square. On this Avenue overlook many important sites. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As far as Kodály körönd and Oktogon both sides are lined with large shops and flats built close together. Between there and Heroes' Square the houses are detached and altogether grander. Under the whole runs continental Europe's oldest Underground railway, most of whose stations retain their original appearance. Heroes' Square is dominated by the Millenary Monument, with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front. To the sides are the Museum of Fine Arts and the Kunsthalle Budapest, and behind City Park opens out, with Vajdahunyad Castle. One of the jewels of Andrássy út is the Hungarian State Opera House. Statue Park, a theme park with striking statues of the Communist era, is located just outside the main city and is accessible by public transport.
The Dohány Street Synagogue is the largest synagogue in Europe, and the second largest active synagogue in the world. The synagogue is located in the Jewish district taking up several blocks in central Budapest bordered by Király utca, Wesselényi utca, Grand Boulevard and Bajcsy Zsilinszky road. It was built in moorish revival style in 1859 and has a seating capacity of 3,000. Adjacent to it is a sculpture reproducing a weeping willow tree in steel to commemorate the Hungarian victims of the Holocaust.
The city is also home to the largest medicinal bath in Europe (Széchenyi Medicinal Bath) and the third largest Parliament building in the world, once the largest in the world. Other attractions are the bridges of the capital. Seven bridges provide crossings over the Danube, and from north to south are: the Árpád Bridge (built in 1950 at the north of Margaret Island); the Margaret Bridge (built in 1901, destroyed during the war by an explosion and then rebuilt in 1948); the Chain Bridge (built in 1849, destroyed during World War II and the rebuilt in 1949); the Elisabeth Bridge (completed in 1903 and dedicated to the murdered Queen Elisabeth, it was destroyed by the Germans during the war and replaced with a new bridge in 1964); the Liberty Bridge ,the Petőfi Bridge (completed in 1937, destroyed during the war and rebuilt in 1952); the Rákóczi Bridge . Most remarkable for their beauty are the Margaret Bridge, the Chain Bridge and the Liberty Bridge. The world's largest panorama photograph was created in Budapest in 2010.

Hungary's Muslims and Jews see no problem taking in refugees
How will they fit in? What influence will religion have? Refugees entering Hungary by the thousands might want to move on, to Germany or Sweden, but the EU's quota distribution system will restrict their choice. Hungary will end up granting asylum to some, with all sides needing to adapt.
The great majority of the refugees are Muslims. The Christian-based societies of Central and Eastern Europe have limited experience of Muslim communities of any size, and of course the same goes for the Jewish…
