Senta Synagogue Renovation: ‘The History of the Jewish People Was Intertwined with the History of the Hungarian People from Very Early Times’

State Secretary Potápi reminded that the history of Hungary would have been unthinkable without the Jews in the early Middle Ages, and then later, from the 18th century until the mid-20th century. Jewish people ‘not only sacrificed their lives and blood for Hungary in the wars of the 19th and 20th centuries, but also made a significant contribution to Hungary’s economic and cultural development.’

Three Questions in the Twelfth Week of the Anti-Government Protests in Israel

An Israeli expert, who requested anonymity, told Hungarian Conservative that there is no doubt
