During the spring of 1944, the fastest and largest operation of Holocaust took place in Hungary. Weeks after the country had been occupied by the Germans, on 16 April, Jewish people who lived in the county were locked up in ghettos. On 14 May, mass deportations of Jews began. On 9 July 1944, in only eight weeks, 437 000 Hungarian Jews were transported in cattle railroad cars to Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland. Most of them were killed in gas chambers just hours after their arrival.
With the launching of the travelling exhibition, the Memorial Centre aimed at informing both teachers and students on one of the most tragic series of events in Hungarian history: how Jews from the provincial regions were devastated in the spring and summer of 1944. The exhibition highlights the importance of these events in Hungary with respect to world history, how Hungarian administration took active part in the process, how organized the deportations were in terms of logistics and the stunning fact of the extermination of Jews in Hungary.
The 22 tables that the exhibition is made up of can be set up anywhere. The rich collection of images and documents, with the fate of a number of families and individuals in focus, offers an extra-cullicular activity for schools.
