The Holocaust Musem cordially invite you to the book presentation and the following panel discussion of

The Tents of Jacob, the Tabernacles of Israel.
Diverse local Israelite Worlds in local historical Perspective in 19th–20th Century Hungary

The volume takes a social-historical approach to the reality of local/regional coexistence between Jewish and non-Jewish populations. The primary aim is to present the coexistence that was fractured during the Jewish Laws (1938-1942) and then destroyed in 1944, in the Holocaust, highlighting the social and economic consequences of this tragedy.

Studies focusing on Jewish local history in different time periods, on theoretical  approaches – identity, integration and antisemitism; Hungarian-Jewish relations  in Transylvania; the lack of specialists caused by the deportations; the museumisation of the paths of tradition – in addition to the micro-histories of various localities (Kunszentmárton, Körmend, Győr, Vecsés, Kassa, Kiskunhalas, Gyoma, Pécs, Székelyföld, Komárom, Nagyvárad, Kunszentmárton), they draw attention to the importance of local history, the incorporation of which into macro-history could be one of the main lines of future historical research.
