The “Without Taboos” series focuses on various themes which currently occupy intellectual life in Hungary, such as questions of Hungarian Jewish identity politics and the politics of remembrance. Certain topics can cause tension between different groups of society due to their sensitive nature, and the aim of the lectures and discussions is to start a dialogue on questions and concerns stemming from these issue areas. The discussions will take place between September 2016 and February 2017.

Time: Tuesday, 29 November 2016, 6 PM
Venue: Tom Lantos Institute (1016 Budapest, Bérc utca 13-15.), Conference Room
