Zalaegerszeg

 

My family escaped from Hungary during the winter of 1956. We took a train to a frontier town, Zalaegerszeg, and at midnight we walked to the Austrian side. It was dangerous. In Kaisersteinbrück, we were received by Austrians with hot chocolate, the first time in my life.  

This week, after 80-something years, local Jews re-established the community and received a Torah Scroll from the Budapest community.
