Hungary: Extensive new online resource on synagogues

An extensive online resource on Hungarian synagogues has recently been launched.

The site provides historical and architectural information, pictures, old postcards, maps and other material on several dozens of synagogues around Hungary (and across its borders into neighboring countries). It also provides links to web sites, if the synagogue in question has a web site.

The site can be searched, and the database can be browsed by date of construction, photo, or name of the town or country (but so far, not all synagogues in Hungary have been loaded into the database).
