Press release on the launch of the new website on the occasion of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, 2025
80 years ago today, on January 27, 1945, Soviet troops liberated the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp. We are marking the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust with the launch of our new website “The Holocaust in Hungary and the Deportations to Northern Germany”. In cooperation with the Bergen-Belsen Memorial and the Neuengamme Concentration Camp Memorial, extensive research was carried out to compile as many names and biographical data as possible on the Jews, Roma and Romnja deported from the former Hungary.
Our Board of Trustees member Gabriela Fenyes, whose parents survived the deportations from what was then Hungary, emphasizes the scientific and personal significance of the project:
“This research project has moved me more than many others. That's because Hungary is the country of my family, of my ancestors. Almost all of them were deported and murdered. Particularly at this time, I think it is important to explore the German-Hungarian and Hungarian-German historical intersections both academically and personally. A start has been made with this project.”
