Meet John Hajdu MBE (hybrid event)
Event info
John Hajdu is a survivor of the Holocaust in Hungary and lived under the subsequent socialist regime in Budapest. Having lived in the UK since 1957, John’s experiences of life after the Holocaust and as a refugee tell of the turmoil of post-World War Two Europe.
John had a successful career in the hotel business and a happy personal life, marrying his wife Maureen in 1972 with whom he has two children and three grandchildren. For John, coming to the UK represented a chance of a new start and he is proud of his contributions to society as a local magistrate, advisor to Haringey Borough Police Commander and the Metropolitan Police, Chairman for the last 16 years of his local 750-strong residents’ association and Vice Chairman of the North London branch of the University of the Third Age. (with thanks to HDMT for his biography).
John will talk about his life in Hungary and UK.

This is part of a series of events accompanying the RPS exhibition: Generations: Portraits of Holocaust Survivors which runs from 27 January-27 March 2022 in the RPS Gallery.
