About the museum:

The museum was founded in 1986, and exhibits items which belonged to Hungarian-speaking Jews before WWII. The founders’ aim was to share and preserve the legacy and culture of Hungarian-speaking Jewry, which was ravaged during WWII.

 

About the book:

This 150-page book was created in order to expand the museum’s reach to a wider audience. It is also a passion project for those whose life mission is the preservation of Hungarian-speaking Jewish culture, and a gift to those who entrusted the museum with their rare and personal items.

• Significantly rewrote English text to fit desired book length and layout

• Solved layout, font and text issues with museum director and book designer
