The Holocaust Memorial Center, opened in 2004, sits within an unusual building complex, which consists of the Páva utca Synagogue.
A arriage of the historic and the modern, the building complex demonstrates the power of contemporary design juxtaposed against a historical setting. It’s a center of science, education and culture, housing interactive permanent and temporary exhibitions.
The Árpád-Stripes Then and Now – New special exhibition
Since the regime change of 1989-90, Hungary’s extreme right has appropriated ancient historic symbols like the red and white striped flag of the Árpád kings or the turul bird. Besides presenting the history of these two ancient symbols in a historical context, the exhibition shows what symbols, emblems and flags the Horthy regime and its opposition on the far right used, and how. Original newsreel footage, objects, photographs and posters provide insight into the cult of Trianon and Horthy after 1920, its revival after 1990, and of the system of symbols used by the extreme right today.
