Translation: Before 1944, the building served as a synagogue for the Jewish community where they offered prayers to the Lord in Heaven. The fascist terror ended their lives. The martyrs are remembered by these walls. / The memorial tablet was donated by J. Paul Herzog (Montreal) to the Holocaust Documentation Center and Memorial Collection in 2004.

Commissioned by

Mr. J. Paul Herzog of Montreal for the Holocaust Documentation Center and Memorial Collection Public Foundation (Budapest).
