Opening of the Páva Street Holocaust Memorial Centre

The Páva Street Holocaust Memorial Centre opened as Hungary’s first state-founded Holocaust Museum, combining the restored synagogue with modern exhibitions. Created amid renewed public debate, it marked a historic state acknowledgment of Hungarian responsibility for the Holocaust. Its message of accountability also drew criticism from far-right groups promoting denial and revisionist narratives.
