Lonely Planet review

The synagogue was built in the Romantic style in 1869, and a fact sheet, available in 11 languages, explains the history of the building and the city's Jewish population. Shortly after the fascist Hungarian government established a ghetto in Pécs in May 1944, most of the city's 3000 Jews were deported to the Nazi death camps; only 150 Jews now live in the city.
