Description

The 320 bed hospital belongs to the Hungarian Jewish Community and is the only Jewish hospital in the region. Around 15,000 Holocaust survivors live in Hungary today, the majority in Budapest. The health of these people is getting worse as they age. This is compounded by the great mental stress due to their experiences during the Nazi era.
