Overview of your Budapest tour:

This is not just a slogan for me. Since I come from local Jewish family and grew up during Communism, I can give you much more than pure facts learnt in history books. My tour includes a walk in the old Jewish Quarter, interior visit the Dohany Street Synagogue (Europe's largest), the Jewish Museum, the Kazinczy Street Orthodox Sy and the Rumbach Street Sy, also see the Holocaust Memorial. Outside of the Jewish Quarter we will see the Glass House. It is a remarkable place that, on the one hand, served as a shelter and hiding place for about 3, 000 Jews saved by Carl Lutz, the Consul of Switzerland in late 1944 and, one the other hand, was also the center of the underground Zionist organization in Hungary. After this - "Shoes Memorial" on the River Bank. This is the memorial place from where the Nazi Hungarians shot the Jews into the Danube River in winter of 1944-45. We can walk to the Shoes Memorial or I just talk about it .
