Fighting oblivion – Renewed synagogues of vanished Jewish communities on the territory of historic Hungary
This paper furnishes a brief survey of the theory and the practices of synagogue restoration in the successor states of Hungarian Kingdom from 1948 to 2022. On the theoretical level it focuses, on the one hand, on the strategies of obliteration of Jewish presence by Communist and Post-Communist authorities, and on the other, on the fighting against oblivion. It presents general theories of monument preservation in countries living under Soviet-Russian cultural supremacy and their implementation from the onset of Communist period in 1948 to the Fall of Berlin Wall in 1989 and up to our days. At the same time, the influence of Western achievements as inseminated in the international charters is also dealt with.
In architectural terms this paper analyses synagogue restorations of four distinct periods, the early ‘Dictatorship of the Proletariat’ (from 1948 to the early 1960s); ripe and late Communist period (from the 1960s to the early/mid 1980s); the period of transition from ‘liberal Communism’ to Neo-Liberalism (form the early/mid 1980s to the EU accession in 2004); and finally, from the EU-accession to reintegration of Post-Communist countries to the European mainstream.
The analysed examples of restored synagogues include Mád, Baja, Győr, Bratislava-Heydukova Street, Budapest-Páva Street, Lučenec, Žilina, Budapest-Rumbach Street and Subotica on the basis of which final conclusions are drawn.
