Hello all. You may know that there are two organizations working to preserve and maintain Jewish heritage in Balassagyarmat, the Balassagyarmat Jewish Community (BGYZSHK) and the Kertész István Foundation. David Deutsch who has been active here and in touch with these organizations has learned that they have lost their public funding under the current political climate, and they are now having difficulty making ends meet on private donations.
The Kertész István Foundation (headed by Mr. Majdan Béla) and the BGYZSHK (headed by members of the Bauer family) would both be grateful for any help you can offer. There is information on how to donate, here:

In my past personal experience, both Mr. Majdan and Mr. Bauer József have both been very gracious and helpful, and seem to have done a lot to preserve our roots, our history, and the graves of our ancestors.
