    Overview

    Brief Narrative
    Part of collection of ceramic decorations made by Béla Fekete and Éva Barta in their ceramics workshop. Béla Fekete, who was not Jewish, and his wife Éva Barta, who was Jewish, made these decorations by day and sold them to make a modest living. At night they forged identity papers with Béla creating the documents and Éva making the official looking stamps to go with them. Hundreds of people benefitted from their work, and in 2012 Béla Fekete was recognized as Righteous Among the Nations.
