Unlocking the Archives: Hungarian Holocaust-Era Property and Cultural Restitution
February 19 at 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Virtual Event
The World Jewish Restitution Organization (WJRO) and The Zekelman Holocaust Center would like to invite you to a special webinar announcing the launch of a new digital archive showcasing 180 microfilm reels detailing the persecution, looting, and deportation of Jews during the Holocaust in Hungary.
This vast and newly accessible resource sheds light on stolen cultural property, including art collections and heirlooms, offering survivors and their families vital tools for restitution and reconnection.
The panel will be moderated by Gideon Taylor, President of WJRO, and feature Rabbi Eli Mayerfeld, CEO of The Zekelman Holocaust Center, Andrea Dunai, Researcher, Genealogist and Author, Dr. Wesley Fisher, Director of Research at WJRO and the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, and Clara Garbon-Radnoti, Hungarian Holocaust survivor, archivist translator, and researcher. Q & A to follow.
