The Global Education Center is hosting a series entitled the Rescue in Budapest to commemorate the life of Raoul Wallenberg.

Concert

Yale Strom and his Hot Pstromi band perform traditional klezmer tunes from various regions of the Austro-Hungarian empire. This "Hungarian Jewish" music was especially popular in eastern Hungary, the Carpathian Mountains and Transylvania before World War II, and experienced a revival many years after the war.
