In april 1944, a ghetto was created around the New Synagogue. The jewish people gathered here weren’t allowed to leave, and the windows were painted white so no one could see in or out.

On 15 June 1944, these people were moved to the outskirts of the city, behind the brick and canning factories. A total of 8617 people where deported from here to camps in Auschwitz and Strasshof, but only about 1500 of them returned to Szeged after the war ended.

This memorial commemorates the people who died in the brick factory before they could have been deported.

This monument commemorates ninety-nine holocaust victims from Szeged and Hódmezővásárhely who were murdered on 15 april 1945, near Randegg, Austria while they were on their way to the concentration camp of Mauthausen from two labour camps which were evacuated due to the fast advance of the soviet army.

Only one deportee, Adolf Glück survived, who fainted from being shot, but he was able to dig himself out from under the corpses. Later he helped to find the mass grave. The corpses were taken to Szeged and reburied here in 1947.

A special memorial is located on the east side of the graveyard, to the right of the Randegg memorial. Damaged Torah scrolls that became unusable during the Shoah, along with soaps made from human remains and human ashes from Auschwitz are buried here.

Such memorials were erected in numerous Jewish cemeteries across Hungary. They symbolize the religious and personal losses of the community and the damages in general.

All communities intended to erect a monument to commemorate their war heroes during WWI and especially in the interwar era. Such was the case in the Jewry of Szeged who were the first in town to erect memorial boards for their war heroes on the wall of the Old Synagogue in 1924.

Another WWI memorial place was soon erected in the Jewish cemetery in 1933, remembering the heroic deeds and sacrifice of Jewish soldiers in the Great War. Nevertheless, these monuments also meant to express their loyalty to the Hungarian Nation.

The monument was inaugurated on 29 October 1933; a large number of people regardless of religious denomination attended the ceremony: the leadership of the city, battalions connected to Szeged, school students and representatives of the local religious communities.

The 2-meter-tall white stone sarcophagus was made from public donations, and is the work of Jewish graphical artist and sculptor Ármin Tardos-Taussig. Several rows of small marble boards commemorate the names of 116 fallen Jewish war heroes from Szeged in the nearby plot.
