Shamir ( Mészáros Józsi
), the builder and manager of this site, passed away
on 1.1.2005 . Since 1995, much before the internet became so
popular, he started the idea of preserving the heritage and history of
the Jewish people from Gyor ,Hungary.
Slowly, but with lot of ambition and determination, the site became the
center for the survivors from Gyor area, their friends and families. It
was not easy to persuade the old generation, since the idea of internet
was not available as today. Despite the difficulties, it started to be
recognized as the right idea. More documents and photos filled the site.
Each one has a story to tell.
The most excited moment was when a
brother and sister ,who did not know of each other, found out that they
both alive. Another friend found his classmate. The site serves as a
meeting room. |

the Jewish cemeteries in Gyor. Thanks to Mr. and
Mrs. Schmideg Stephen from Australia, who contribute the martyrs
list, Mr. and Mrs. Yanai Yitzchak, from
Israel, who photographs each grave, about 3000, with the information of

We want to thank each one of you who
