former yellow star houses to create and participate in a public event on June 21 , 2014 , commemorating Jewish families who used to live there 70 years before . There were over 120 positive responses and open-house events were organized , such as mini exhibitions based on historical documents pertinent to the buildings , musical performances , and tours , recording over 10,000 visitors across the city . Recordings of local commemorations are available on the Archivum ’ s YouTube channel . The day culminated in a closing ceremony at the Goldberger House , the current home of the Archivum , where an open-air piano concert ( Beethoven : Appassionata ) was organized under an enlarged photo of Jewish men wearing yellow stars on their jackets , lined up for inspection at the Kistarcsa internment camp just outside of Budapest in the spring of 1944 , projected onto the façade of the building . Among them was Leó Buday-Goldberger .
Epilogue
Records are never complete or finite , they are “ always in a process of becoming .” Every interference , exchange with the record by the creator , archivist or user activates the record for a new purpose , providing it with a new meaning . As the above practices show , archives sensitive to inclusion and social justice , such as the Archivum , can facilitate collective memory creation by mobilizing records within and even outside the archival space , whether physical or online , allowing different users to engage with the recordings of an often traumatic past . Memory work performed in these spaces can have healing and redressing effects and help restore the damaged social status of various neglected and underrepresented communities or individuals .
