From Unremembered to Overremembered. Gender in the Holocaust Museums of Hungary and Slovakia
In museums, the history of the Holocaust is told through various means of exhibition construction, including architecture/space, texts, artifacts, photographs, and digital technologies. The article focuses on the gendered history of the Holocaust in museums as institutions in Central Europe after the illiberal turn and evaluates how (and if) the museums incorporate the gender perspective in their narratives. It argues that illiberal museological …

In this paper, I analyze restitution letters authored by Hungarian Holocaust survivors. These letters were written in a singular historical moment: after the end of the Second World War, and before the coming to power of the communist party; when the survivors’ memories of their experiences were still fresh. In most letters, the authors recounted their fate, described the property they wanted to get back, and included several features which canno…

La culture mémorielle de l’Europe de l’Est a subi une transformation radicale après l’effondrement du communisme, du fait de l’« américanisation » de la Shoah, c’est-à-dire, pour reprendre les termes de Winfried Fluck, spécialiste de la culture allemande, un processus de démocratisation consistant à éradiquer toute complexité afin de rendre accessibles à un vaste public des événements complexes. De nouveaux musées ont été créés pour réécrire l’hi…
Civil Servants, Holocaust Survivors, Non-Jews
In this article, I investigate early restitution efforts in Hungary based on two case studies: Ócsa and Újpest. Both towns are located in Pest County; however, Ócsa had a small Jewish population, while in Újpest, more than 10,000 Jews had lived before the Holocaust and at least 2000 survived. Most Hungarian survivors faced a similar situation at the end of the war: they had lost their relatives, their health was damaged, and upon their return, th…

The late 19th and early 20th centuries were a period when artistic endeavours, aimed at expressing a national identity, were thriving in Hungary. The Jewish minority of Budapest also found it important to be present in public spaces. A couple of years after the emancipation of Hungarian Jews, the first statues of Jewish personalities appeared on the streets of Budapest. Who were these statues dedicated to? Who were the artists commissioned, and w…

Neglected Restitution
Abandoned, confiscated, and stolen property
This article deals with Jewish attempts to reclaim previously confiscated private property in Hungary in the aftermath of the Second World War. Through the comparative analysis of two different localities, Monor and Újpest, the article maps the various situations faced by those liberated from camps or returning from military labor service, their chances of regaining their valuables, and the attitudes of the authorities. The article therefore prov…
