Holocaust Memorial Center
Located on Páva Street in Budapest, the Holocaust Memorial Center is a state-established institution dedicated to preserving the memory of Hungary’s Holocaust victims. Opened in 2004 within the restored Páva Street Synagogue, the center offers a powerful and immersive experience through its permanent exhibition, “From Deprivation of Rights to Genocide.” Visitors encounter multimedia displays, personal testimonies, and historical artifacts that trace the persecution of Hungarian Jews and Roma from the 1920s to the atrocities of 1944. The museum’s architecture, designed to evoke the distortion of time during the Holocaust, complements its mission of remembrance and education. A wall inscribed with 60,000 names honors the lives lost, while the research center allows families to trace their heritage. Guided tours, educational programs, and cultural events deepen public understanding. As one of Central Europe’s first Holocaust museums founded by a government, it stands as a poignant reminder of history and a beacon for tolerance and human rights.
Budapest HungaryThe Holocaust Memorial Center is located at 39 Páva utca, in Budapest’s 9th district, just east of the city center and close to the Corvin-negyed metro station (M3), which makes access convenient for visitors. The institution stands on the grounds of the former Páva Street Synagogue—a beautifully restored 1920s building now integrated into the museum complex. This national memorial, established by the Hungarian government, features a striking modern design and a deeply moving permanent exhibition chronicling the fate of Hungarian Jews and other persecuted groups during the Holocaust. The museum is set in a vibrant urban area with several notable attractions nearby. Within walking distance, visitors can reach the Hungarian National Museum, the Museum of Applied Arts, and the Central Market Hall—all offering rich insights into Hungary’s cultural and historical heritage. The lively Corvin-negyed district provides a variety of cafés, shops, and cultural venues, and the historic Gellért Thermal Bath is also just over a kilometer away. This location allows visitors to connect their memorial experience with broader explorations of Budapest’s rich historical and modern tapestry.
