The Dohany Street Synagogue

Published to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the historic Dohany Street Synagogue in Budapest, this lavishly-produced book brings the beauty of the ornate structure to life. Standing today as a living memorial to the 600,000 Jews of Hungary who died in the Holocaust and the surviving members of the community who suffered so terribly under Communism, The Dohany Street Synagogue is a symbol of one of the last remnants of the once-thriving Jewish cultural and religious heritage in Eastern Europe. Lovingly photographed by Laszlo Regos, the distinguished Hungarian-born American architectural photographer, there are 102 visually stunning color photographs exquisitely reproduced in the 132-page book. The text is in both English and Hungarian, and features touching lyrical essays by Greta Corelli. The book is published by Alexandra Publishing, known for their devotion to brilliant color reproduction in their publications. This book is highly recommended to anyone who appreciates true beauty in all its magnificence. It is a true work of art befitting this architectural gem.
