Budapest, Jews and Joyce
"Judapest" (Finnegans Wake 150.27-28)
or the Jewish Budapest
Budapest, Hungary
11 - 18 June 2006

  How did Joyce know Jews in Budapest?  It is probably very difficult to answer the question.  However, I cannot but admire Joyce's observant sense as a cosmopolitan.  Without Jewish elements bestrewing in Ulysses, how could it gain the immortal fame in world literature?
  Joyce knew the Hungarian Jews very well because lived in Trieste, the most important port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the time when he started composing Ulysses.  To set the Hungarian Jewish background to the protagonist Leopold Bloom, Ulysses acquired to gain the immortal life not only in literature but also as a most important document of Jews in the early twentieth century.  Reportedly the novel helped 16 Jews to escape to Britain from the Nazis in 1939 and said "Antisemitism is one of the easiest prejudices to forment " (the Irish-Jewish Museum).

Walking Jewish Tour
     On 14 and 15 June, the Joyce conference delegates could have chance to join a walking tour of the Jewish quarter of Budapest if you signed up in advance.  A undergraduate student of sociology guided us to the quarter.  It was a wonderful opportunity for us to know "Judapest": The tour included visiting Rumbach Sebestyen utca Synagogue, Dohany Street Synagoge and Kosher Hanna but we could not enter any of them because the tour started too late (the meeting time was 16:30).
  The heart of the old Jewish quarter, Klauzal ter, and its surrounding streets retain a feeling of prewar Budapest.  Signs of a continued Jewish presence are still evident.

Dohany Street Synagogue
     The Dohany Street Synagoge, also known as Great Synagogue ("Nagy zsinagoga"), Dohany u. 2-8.  It is the largest Jewish house of worship in the world outside New York (or "Jew York") and can seat 3000 of the faithful.  Built in 1859 with Romantic and Moorish elements, the copper-domed synagogue was renovated with funds raised by the Hungarian government and a New York-based charity headed by the actor Tony Curtis, whose parents emigrated from Hungary in the 1920s.  In an annexe of the synagogue is the Jewish Museum, famous for the Holocaust Memorial Room.
  We should know that during World War II, all the Hungarian Jewish people captured by the Nazis were first taken here, spent their last Hungarian night and sent to the horrible concentration camps separately.  The great majority did not return.

Pannonia Klezmer Band
     Thanks to Pannonia Klezmer Band, many conference delegates become interested in Jewish music.  Their music is very enjoyable and exotic with some "Oriental" or the North African Mediterranean taste: It is full of tears and weeps of glee, grief, anguish and anger of Jewish people.  In fact, I had never imagined what is Jewish music like.  After their performance, I bought several CDs of Jewish music.

Carl Lutz
     Carl Lutz (1895-1975), the Swiss consul in Budapest, played an important role in the rescue activities.  He had good relations with the Germans and could draw the offices organizing the emigration of Jews to Palestine under his jurification.  Some 25,000 people were given shelter in the all together 76 houses under the protection of the Swiss consulate.  To commemorate Lutz and his activities the Municipal Government of Budapest erected this statue (by Tamas Szabo) on a little square created next to the partition wall of the building at 12 Dob utca in 1991.
