BUDAPEST -- The last time I wrote about Budapest on Centropa I provided an itinerary of Jewish sights and resources, most of them in and around the city's Seventh District, the old downtown Jewish quarter anchored by three grand synagogues forming a so-called "Jewish triangle." 

An Overview

Wednesday, the 20th of April 2016, the fourth edition of the Students' Film Festival (FFEH4) took place at the National College "Iulia Hasdeu" as one of the activities during Alternative Week. During this edition of the film festival, 97 film entries have been submitted by students from classes X A, X C, XI A and XI E. The theme of the short films creaed by the students was "My family’s history".

BUDAPEST -- Back in the early 1990s, I picked my way through Budapest's enormous main Jewish cemetery, trying to find the grave of Lipot Baumhorn, an architect who was long-forgotten but whose body of work once held pride of place in cities and towns the length and breadth of Hungary.
