Holocaust Memorial Tombs

A short report appeared on the inauguration of the two symbolic memorial tombs of deported Jews in the local daily newspaper Délmagyarország on 23 September 1947: “There were almost 2000 Jews who were destroyed by fascist madness, who not even had a symbolic grave. They were symbolically buried in black marble coffins in the hall of the synagogue by the Jewish Community.” The memorial tombs can be found in the entrance hall of the New Synagogue
