Sirály. |
Sirály is a Place
Where we can discuss what we have achieved until now
Where we can show to each other and to anyone interested
What challenges we face,
What content and form we find for expressing Ourselves and our questions.
Until what doubts we dare to proceed.
A Place where we can invite those walking before us
And those coming after us.
The Sirály is a place for meetings.

18:00 – 20:00: Subcultures of the inside emigration – conversations about the alternative publicity of the Kádár regime: Between themselves – Friday night from the rabbinate to Dunapark café
Aside the censored publicity of the Kádár regime, alternative community forums appear. One form of these was the illegal, Jew-related circles. Being in a company of intellectual people in the capital meant a critic towards the system not without danger. Aside from the legendary Friday nights held by Sándor Scheiber at the Rabbi Academy, the community often gathered in the home of Ferenc Lovász form the end of the ‘70s. The main motive was the positive sentiment of “Jewishness” and the enrichment of one’s knowledge (e.g. by the free university organized by Tamás Raj), which of course couldn’t stay hidden...
György Gadó has even published a samizdat newspaper called ‘Hungarian Jew’ which was pursued by the government. For the system had dual thoughts about the question: it has forced anti-Semitism behind barriers, but has also almost negated the very existence of Judaism and was also straight-on hostile against Israel.
Our guests: Judit Bürg, Balázs Fényes, György Gadó, Vera Lovász, András Rácz.
Moderator: György Vári
