Our Board Members
Judit Horváth-Lindberg
Founder
I have been living in Sweden since 1970. I hold multiple university degrees in psychology, social anthropology, and film sociology. However, alongside my studies, I have primarily worked in the fields of refugee affairs and elderly care. Within the Swedish Red Cross, I established a center for refugees who have endured torture, and I also managed several elderly care institutions in the city of Solna.
I have taught at universities, including Uppsala University, on topics related to immigration and refugee issues. My writings and books on these subjects have been published in Swedish, English, and Hungarian.
The word „retirement” is not part of my vocabulary. As long as I live, I have important work to do.
Krisztina Frauhammer PhD.
Chair of the Board
I hold degrees in ethnography and as a history and German teacher. Currently, I serve as an archivist, leading the Archive of the Szeged Jewish Community.
As a dedicated local patriot of Szeged and a passionate researcher of culture and cultural heritage, I have been engaged for many years in uncovering and presenting the heritage of Szeged’s Jewish community. I am delighted to continue this work as the president of the foundation.
István Buk
Board Member
Born in 1947 in Szarvas as the child of Holocaust survivors, I retired in 2007 from the Lower Tisza Region Environmental Protection Inspectorate. Since 2019, I have been the elected president of the Szeged Jewish Community.
One of my key objectives is to introduce young people to Jewish traditions and religion.
With my experience and connections, I am happy to contribute to the work of the Foundation.
Ágnes Horváth
Board Member
I am a retired economist living in Budapest. I worked in foreign trade and retired as a procurement manager at a pharmaceutical company.
It is an honor for me to serve as a board member of the foundation, as I am deeply committed to preserving the heritage of Jewish communities..
Eszter Erdélyi
Board Member
I am a high school teacher dedicated to exploring creative ways of processing the past. Together with my students, I research and document stories and human destinies that bring us closer to understanding our worldview and our present.
I teach solidarity, intercultural dialogue, and the preservation of human values, which I consider the most important mission of my profession.
Anna Ceglédi
Board Member
I work as a teacher of Hungarian and history in Szeged, at Tisza-parti Elementary School. Jewish culture, religion, and history have interested me since childhood. Together with my students, we have made several short films and participated in projects, primarily focusing on the history of Szeged’s Jewish community. I believe it is essential that, beyond textbooks, we can research and learn about the past and present of Szeged’s Jewish community outside the school walls with my students.
Balázs Tamási PhD.
Board Member
I am the director of the library and a university lecturer at the National Rabbinical Seminary – Jewish University. My research areas are diverse: on one hand, I study the history of ancient, Hellenistic Judaism, and on the other, I research Hebrew book and manuscript collections in Hungary.
I participate in the foundation’s work both for professional reasons, to protect Jewish heritage in Hungary and out of my commitment to Neolog Judaism, and for personal reasons, as my maternal ancestors are from the Szeged area.

After forty years of professional activity, in my two decades of retirement, I have focused on family history research and mentoring through social media for charitable purposes. My book reviews and other small-scale publications are regularly featured on several online platforms (Múlt és Jövő, Tiszatáj online, Restancia.hu, Szombat online). As a committed investigator of the history of Szeged’s Jewish community, I have taken on the role of Supervisory Board Member in the foundation’s activities.
