| Description |
A traveling exhibition prepared in Budapest of images of synagogues in East-Central Europe, principally from the 19th C, sponsored by the Cultural Department of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. These structures were presented as testimony to the process of Jewish emancipation, the different degrees of tolerance in this region with respect to the Jews, and the striving of the Jews for modernity while adhering to certain aspects of their ancient traditions. Introduction. Five essays: Jewish Emancipation in East-Central Europe, Synagogue Architecture as a Genre, Typology and Genealogy of Synagogues in 19th-Century East-Central Europe, The Synagogues of East-Central Europe Today, and The Synagogue Rescue Program of the Hungarian Government. 20 exhibition panels. |
