Forgotten Neighbors

Opens Thursday, November 7th at 6pm

In 2010 András Gyekiczki, a lawyer, was eager to find out more about the people who had lived in Pápa, Hungary before the war.  He began to collect photographs of the survivors’ descendants and documents related to the town’s past. His team ultimately collected more than 500 photographs from the pre-war period, which include family photos, portraits taken outdoors or in studios, and images of the town’s social events.

Forgotten Neighbors displays the richness of small town Jewish life through complete family stories. We gain a unique glimpse into the past as we learn how Count Esterházy supported the construction of the town’s synagogue, and who the most beautiful girl was in the 1930s - and who was in love with her.

LAMOTH is pleased to host this amazing exhibit for its  first showing outside of Hungary. It is co-sponsored by The Mensch Foundation International, which was  founded by Steve Andras Geiger and is active in Hungary, the U.S. and Israel. Mr. Geiger is especially looking for survivors or children of survivors from Pápa, Hungary. You can reach him at geigersa@gmail.com or call 760 416 3685.
