Reviews

"This book will delight the historian, armchair traveler, and student of Jewish history alike.... The rich variety of photographs, maps, and drawings make lore and history come alive. Encyclopedic in scope and detail, this volume will certainly become the basic English text on the Jews of Budapest (and Hungary)."
*Arts and Humanities*

"Unlike most-works concerning Jewish Budapest, which have taken approach, this work also introduces the Jewish elements and traces which still exist still today in Budapest. The work is an immense archival undertaking by the Center of Jewish Studies at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, one volume of a series that will deal with East-Central European society. The history of the Jews in Buda, Obuda (Old Buda), and Pest is well integrated with modern observations, showing readers the entire spectrum of Jewish life from the ancient times to the modern day."
