Title: APTOPIX HUNGARY PASSOVER
Caption: Members of the Hungarian Orthodox Jewish community are making Matzah; an unleavened bread for the Jewish holiday of Passover in the basement of their synagogue in Budapest, Hungary, Monday, April 2, 2007. All leavened food, such as bread, is forbidden to Jews during the week-long Passover holiday, which begins at sunset Monday, commemorating the Israelites' hasty departure from Egypt. Hungary's Orthodox Jewish community counts only a few hundred people, while Hungarian Orthodox Jews numbered hundreds of thousands before the Holocaust. (AP Photo/Bela Szandelszky)
