Synagogues of Budapest

4. Synagogues

4. Dóra Szegő - György Szegő: Synagogues.
'This book introduces the synagogues of Budapest - earthly houses spared the devastations of the twentieth century more in Budapest than elsewhere in Europe.
The genius of a place cannot be appreciated without knowing its history. Here the history is that of the one-time congregation and where its members came from and where they were going to when the constuction, reconstruction or extension was undertaken. That is why it is essential to depict the history not only of the particular building but of its neighbourhood, too.'
An edition of City Hall.


The old Jewish Quarter of Budapest

5. The old Jewish Quarter of Budapest

5. 'If a time machine could take us back a hundred years, we might not recognize what became known as the old Jewish quarter of Budapest. Simple one or two story dweilings stood in place of today's apartment buiidings, with the first synagogues towering above them. Then a wave of renewal followed, many houses were demolished with new houses put in their place, and there were even plans for a huge, impressive boulevard. During the past half a century, this part of Budapest slept the sleep of Sleeping Beauty. Now, however, the area is being modernized, creating a new world with a new atmosphere.'
An edition of Corvina.
