About this talk
Budapest, the capital of Hungary, has one of the most fascinating Jewish cultures and histories in Europe. It is a community that still flourishes in spite of the many difficulties it has faced throughout its long history. I would like to invite you to a virtual tour, where I will share stories about this community, from the time of the Austrian Empire, through the Holocaust, the communist era, and into the present day.
As part of the generation born at the end of the communist era, raised in the hopeful 90s and 2000s, I have had my own personal journey through understanding my family's background, the stories of my grandparents who survived the Holocaust, those of my parents who grew up under communism, and all the other stories from which I gradually started to build my own identity.
About Anikó
Born and raised in Budapest, Hungary, Anikó Félix's Jewish heritage and experience as a minority have deeply influenced her dedication to minority rights and social justice. With a PhD in Sociology, her academic work focused on far-right movements through a gender lens, exploring the roots of hate as a pathway to countering it. Anikó has participated in numerous international research initiatives addressing far-right extremism, antisemitism, and Holocaust remembrance.
In 2023, she became the executive director of the Haver Jewish Informal Education Foundation, where she combines her scholarly insights with hands-on strategies to combat prejudice. Passionate about the transformative power of dialogue, she integrates theater and drama pedagogy into Haver's educational activities, fostering meaningful encounters that promote understanding and inclusivity.
