Abstract:The article not only presents a contemporary perception of the Jewish community based upon the stereotypes and personal experiences of the interviewees, but also points out the character of current Hungarian-Jewish relations in the case of the Hungarian town of Makó. Before the Second World War, Makó was inhabited by a large Jewish community that is still remembered today. Most of the Jews perished in the Holocaust, and those who survived emigrated by 1956. These days the Jewish emigres and their descendants from all over the world visit Makó more often; the town has become a center for the international meetings of Jews who can trace their roots here. The old Jewish emigrants who once lived in Hungary search for their roots in a different way than the young ones, who do not have the older generation's experience of the past. Thanks to studies of the ways that the Jews relate their identity to Makó, the author can analyze their ways of finding roots and also reflect upon Hungarians' attitude toward this new form of interaction with a foreign culture
