Jews once made up 10% of the population of this small Hungarian town, but only two survived in the Shoah. Today, all that remains of the community are 33 gravestones — 26 intact and 7 broken or surviving only as pedestal bases — dating from 1864 to 1927.
The town’s synagogue no longer stands, leaving the cemetery as the largest surviving physical testament to the Jewish community that once lived here.
The protection of this burial site was made possible with financial support from the Auswärtiges Amt (German Federal Foreign Office), in cooperation with the Federation of Hungarian Jewish Communities (MAZSIHISZ-Magyarországi Zsidó Hitközségek Szövetsége) and our country coordinator, Mária Baranyi.
