A series of pictures about the interior of an old Hungarian synagog in Pecs.

1. Synagogue of Pecs City,
Hungary
Photographed by: Ivan Szedo

2. The Synagogue of Pecs was built in 1910. The exterior of the
building was renovated in 2001.
The Jewish population of Pecs was about 4000 people until
1944. As victims of the deportations of that year, after WW2
only 500 jews of Pecs survived, and only 100 of them
remained in Pecs.
Nowadays the Synagogue is used only on special occasions,
so there is no heating inside. The members of the little
Jewish community have their regular services in a place of
worship at the side of the Temple. It’s really a miracle that the
interior of the Synagogue practically remained intact.
