History of the Jews in Bekes (Hungary)

Okay, kiddo, let's talk about the history of the Jews in Bekes, Hungary.

A long time ago, there were Jewish people who lived in Bekes. They had their own community and they followed their own religion. They had their own synagogues where they would come together to pray and learn.

However, things were not always easy for the Jewish people in Bekes. During World War II, a very mean man named Adolf Hitler took control of Germany and started a terrible war. He wanted to hurt and kill all the Jewish people in Europe, including those in Bekes.

Many Jewish people were forced out of their homes and separated from their families. They were put into concentration camps where they were treated very badly. Many of them died in these camps.

After the war ended, some Jewish people were able to return to Bekes, but many had been killed or had to flee to other countries.

Despite all this sadness, some Jewish people still live in Bekes today. They continue to practice their religion and are an important part of the community. It is important to remember and learn from the history of the Jewish people in Bekes, and to treat everyone with kindness and respect, no matter where they come from or what religion they follow.
