Pest and Ófen (Obuda) were two of the towns that united with Buda to form Budapest in 1873. Three years after the expulsion of the Jews from the region by Empress Maria Theresa in 1744, the Jews were readmitted and they formed one of the largest communities of Jews in Central Europe. By WWII there were 300,000 Jews in Budapest.
