Our community has received the third largest grant in the country for the local implementation of the Holocaust 80 series of events. This year, we are preparing for the anniversary of the deportation and mass murder of Jews with more than 25 events, including traditional exhibitions, concerts, services and conferences, as well as a new commemorative procession. The city will also contribute to the commemoration by creating a new park.

The Jewish Community of Szeged donated the Löw Immánuel Memorial Plaque to Dr. Csaba Latorcai, State Secretary of the Ministry of Human Resources for his work in the renovation of the New Synagogue of Szeged – wrote kultura.hu.

The Hungarian government supported the restoration of the synagogue with one billion forints. The New Synagogue of Szeged is a remnant of Hungarian Art Nouveau and one of the most beautiful synagogues in Europe. The award was presented by the leaders of the congregation at the XXIII Traditional Israeli Dinner, which traditionally closes the Szeged Autumn Jewish Cultural Festival every autumn.

The State Secretary of Public Administration thanked all those who participated in the renovation of the synagogue and contributed to the renewal of one of the most important monuments of Szeged. Csaba Latorcai praised Immánuel Lőw, the Chief Rabbi, orientalist and cultural historian born in Szeged in the mid-19th century, for his decisive role in the social and religious life of the city and his activities in the construction of the synagogue. The government will continue to provide support to religious denominations in Hungary, including the Jewish denomination, for the preservation and renovation of public and other real estate, religious and cultural heritage, monuments and works of art, as well as for the renovation and extension of public cultural, educational and social buildings, and other necessary church construction projects, he added.

The Hungarian government has supported the restoration of the second largest synagogue in Hungary and the fourth largest in the world with a billion forints. The New Synagogue of Szeged is a reminder of Hungarian Art Nouveau and one of the most beautiful synagogues in Europe.
