A website with some material about Jewish life in Bonyhad and the Shoah in Hungary

Hello,

The website is still a draft, work-in-progress and may be updated, extended in the future.

Comments, error corrections are welcome.

Interactive map showing  where Jews lived, etc and communal places.

Pressing the HELP button explains various features of the map, such as search, highlighting.

Marker positions are based on translation of street etc. addresses to latitude, longitude earth coordinates needed to build the map. 

Accuracy is probably 10 - 20 meters, thus markers may be slightly mislocated.

Many families lived in shared buildings, which is shown by a single marker.

Click on a marker displays who lived there and the address.

The map shows that Jews lived near the two synagogues, Jewish schools etc. in order to be able to conduct a Jewish way of life.
