The Újpest Synagogue is a
Újpest-Városkapu
metro station.
The synagogue was founded by the
Lowy family.[2]
The Orthodox Judaism community, which did not agree with Neolog Judaism, split off and created their own synagogue.[1]
During World War II, the synagogue was looted and partially destroyed by the Nazis.[1] After the war the synagogue was rebuilt and a Holocaust memorial was added next to the synagogue.[1] The memorial, which was unveiled by Hungarian President Zoltán Tildy, is a wall with names of the 17,000 Jewish Ujpest residents that were victims of the Holocaust.[1]
