JEWISH MONUMENTS IN SÁTORALJAÚJHELY
The Ferenc Kazinczy Museum
11 Dózsa György Street
Petőfi Literary Museum – Ferenc Kazinczy Museum, Sátoraljaújhely
The museum is found in the building of the historical city hall, between the former Status Quo synagogue and the Orthodox prayer room.
The museum plays a pivotal role in the cultural life of the city, with its active scientific organizational and research activities in the natural sciences and local history. The institution took over and is coordinating the project involving the excavation and archeological work on the medieval castle of Sátoraljaújhely.
By preserving monuments and reminders of the Jewish community in Sátoraljaújhely and collecting written, visual, and material objects, over the course of the past few years, the museum has put together a significant collection, which will be open to the public next year (2022) as part of an exhibition on local history.
The museum has been the venue for several Jewish exhibitions organized nationally, such as the exhibitions “Stone on Stone” – fragments from the culture of Jewish people in rural Hungary, and “From Handle to the Grand Café” – Jews in Hungarian commerce and the hospitality industry.
