Résumé (en anglais)

’Ours is a draughty country’ we used to hint at the vicissitudes of Hungary in a semi-jokingly way. In this paper I am going to highlight the ’life-line’ of different groups of monuments (protected or having only symbolic meaning). Hungary underwent several drastic changes in the past „short century”, i.e. 1914-1989, from the outbreak of WWI. to the collapse of so-called socialism. There is a group that changed both place and significance, that of the statues erected to glorify communism and its Soviet and Hungarian heroes. The majority of them were taken to a place called ’Statue-park’. The park reflects our history and our attitude toward it. Another group of buildings are synagogues, abandoned because of well-known consequence of the nazi rule and re-used. This way some were objectified, some kept as memento in a ramifying context.
