Museum of Jewish Heritage of Hungary

The Heritage Museum of Hungary in Safed was founded in 1986 and opened its doors to visitors in 1990.

The museum was founded by thirty founders who merged into a non-profit organization. The museum is currently run by two founders who live in Safed, Hawa and Josef Lusting.

The museum reveals the history of the Jewish communities of Hungary, Transylvania, Slovakia, the Carpathians. The museum staff carefully collects and preserves the photos and documents that have been found, and will gladly tell visitors about the history of Jews in Hungary.

The collections animate the past, show Jewish life, talk about the folklore and traditions of Jewish communities.

The museum hosts annual events: "Every Man Has a Name" - an event dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Nazi regime, when every name of the deceased is read, the traditional collection of friends of the museum and the Museum Association Meeting, which takes place in Tel Aviv.
