It was home to one of the greatest Jewish communities in Europe: by the 1941 census roughly 184,000 Jews lived in the city, about a fifth of its population, sustaining a rich network of synagogues (including the monumental Dohány Street Synagogue), schools, press, and industry. Most of Hungary's Jews were deported to Auschwitz in 1944, but many of Budapest's were confined to a ghetto and survived through the winter of 1944–45; a substantial community remains today, the largest in Central Europe. <small>Sources: Wikipedia — History of the Jews in Hungary; USHMM Holocaust Encyclopedia — Budapest; Yad Vashem — Prewar Jewish Life in Budapest.</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Ármin Zvi Neumann (b.1882)]] | Born 08/25/1882, Died 02/13/1945 | | [[Nándor Náthán Neeman (b.1884)]] | Born 03/02/1884 | | [[Chaya Esther Johanna Neumann (b.1886)]] | Born 04/04/1886 | | [[Sándor Alexsander Neumann (b.1888)]] | Born 02/01/1888 | | [[Manó Menachem Neumann (b.1890)]] | Born 05/02/1890, Died 12/03/1891 | | [[Regina Rebeka Neumann (b.1891)]] | Born 12/20/1891, Died 02/06/1945 | | [[Without name Neumann (b.1893)]] | Born 09/20/1893, Died 09/24/1893 | | [[Leah Zimlichman (b.1896)]] | Born 1896 | | [[Miriam Mária Schwan (b.1902)]] | Born 01/06/1902 | | [[Aranka Levia Schwan (b.1878)]] | Died 1905 | | [[Imre Bubi Schwan (b.1905)]] | Born 03/09/1905 | | [[Lilly Neuman (b.1915)]] | Born 04/23/1915 | | [[Rebekka Rivka Chaile Reich (b.1844)]] | Died 06/09/1919 | | [[Shlomo Alexsander Armel (b.1922)]] | Born 1922 | | [[Moshe Shemaya Bernstein (b.1922)]] | Born 1922 | | [[Yitzchak Csillag (b.1922)]] | Born 1922 | | [[Aryeh Harael (b.1925)]] | Born 1925 | | [[Itta Eisen (b.1926)]] | Born 09/12/1926 | | [[Eva Herzog (b.1927)]] | Born 1927 | | [[Márkus Mordechai Neumann (Neiman) (b.1849)]] | Died 10/03/1927 | | [[Liba Armel (b.1928)]] | Born 1928 | | [[Aharon Harael (b.1928)]] | Born 1928 | | [[Ahuva Magdi Neeman (b.1928)]] | Born 10/23/1928 | | [[Chava Neeman (b.1930)]] | Born 09/21/1930 | | [[Zissel Bernstein (b.1908)]] | Died 1931 | | [[Yehudit Chaya Tzivia Bernstein (b.1931)]] | Born 02/06/1931 | | [[Rivka Farkas (b.1861)]] | Died 12/31/1931 | | [[Shlomo Halpern (d.1932)]] | Died 1932 | | [[Peter T Ban (b.1935)]] | Born 1935 | | [[Miriam (Agnes Aggie) (b.1937)]] | Born 06/30/1937 | | [[Gedalya Klein (b.1938)]] | Born 1938 | | [[Naomi (Cathline Cathy) (b.1939)]] | Born 1939 | | [[David Rubner (b.1940)]] | Born 03/05/1940 | | [[Agnes Sobel (b.1941)]] | Born 04/13/1941 | | [[Hudje Ettel Honig (b.1858)]] | Died 07/29/1941 | | [[Ágnes Bernstein (b.1943)]] | Born 1943 | | [[Etel Festinger (b.1876)]] | Died 06/09/1943 | | [[Rachel Chava (Eva Bobbie) (b.1944)]] | Born 1944 | | [[Lili Salzberger (b.1909)]] | Died 1944 | | [[Leah Rachel Weisz (b.1910)]] | Died 01/10/1945 | | [[Yosef Dovid Shlomo Bernstein (b.1901)]] | Died 01/18/1945 | | [[Smily Bernstein (b.1859)]] | Died 01/19/1945 | | [[Moshe (Mózes Moric) (b.1882)]] | Died 02/09/1945 | | [[Moshe Shmuel Rubner (b.1946)]] | Born 12/22/1946 | | [[Naomi Ackerman (b.1975)]] | Born 1975 | | [[Rachel Nussbaum (b.1905)]] | Died 1981 | | [[Sámuel Slomovitz (b.1918)]] | Died ~1995 | | [[Audrey J.
