Pápa, Hungary

Hungary

Pápa, Hungary shares 44 connections with 8872 places across 15 topics, with religion and wartime military history as the two dominant clusters. By the 19th century, the town held Hungary's third most significant Jewish community; in 1944, German occupation led to its destruction through a ghetto and concentration camp. The last rabbi before the war, Yosef Greenwald, established the Pupa Hasidic dynasty in the United States. Pápa Air Base also hosts NATO C-17 transport aircraft, activated in 2009, connecting the city to present-day military networks.
