I spent a couple weeks in Budapest in October. My wife and I visited the Jewish ghetto and the great synagogue. There is a renewal of sorts and there seems to be a homecoming or at least some in migration from Israel and other parts of the Diaspora. So many people died in Hungary to the hands of the Nazis but also valiant Jewish intellectuals perished in the Revolution against Soviet rule. The culture manages to endure with the small remaining community.
