Can be found at Kossuth Lajos utca 5 near the center of Györ, a town of over 100.000 inhabitants, among them approximately 10 Jews.

As the post-Shoah community of 780 survivors didn’t have the means for its upkeep, the building was sold to the city of Györ some time in the 1960s. Since the 1970s it serves as music school.

She is evidently one of the last survivors of this once proud and flourishing community.
