All across Hungary one finds synagogues that once served a vibrant community which are now deserted or repurposed, with some restored by the government or private parties. In the space of two months in 1944, some 600,000 Hungarian Jews were rounded up from the ghettos they had recently been forced into and deported to death camps in Poland. Very few returned, and those who did were reportedly not welcomed back by their former neighbors. They moved on, and their former synagogues remained abandoned for decades.

This synagogue was built in 1930 by the same architect of the magnificent synagogue in Szeged http://www.pbase.com/helenpb/new_synagogue
