I was born in a provincial town in Hungary, south of Budapest. My father and grandfather were also born there. Jewish traders started to settle in the town around 1860 and prospered. The pic is the only picture of the old synagogue, in the nineteen twenties another pretentious one replaced it, with two Moorish towers, as was the fashion among provincial Jewish communities. I think the Hebrew letters represent the year of the building, but I cannot read it. BTW, there are no Jews living in Jaszbereny.
