House of Terror

The House of Terror is a museum, the only one of its kind, a monument to the memory of all those who were held captive, tortured and killed in this building in two bloody periods of the Hungarian history: the  World War with II., the period of Nazi occupation and the communist totalitarianism. In the autumn of 1944, when the Hungarian Nazis came to power, the basement of this building was used as a prison. Then it was turned into the headquarters of the Secret Police force during the communist period. The museum, while presenting the horrors in a tangible way, also intends to make people understand that the sacrifice for freedom was not in vain. It also presents a picture of the life of the Hungarians at the time.

Holocaust Memorial Centre

The Holocaust Memorial was opened in 2004 on the site of a former synagogue partially rebuilt for the occasion. The importance of this museum has become even bigger with some people today denying the existence of the Holocaust. The interactive exhibition introduces the history of the Jewish and Roma Holocaust through multimedia on touch-screens, by displaying original documents and objects, leading the visitors through specifically structured real personal and family histories. Beyond commemorating the victims, the emphasis of the exhibition is on education and assisting new generations to deal with the horrors of the past.

After breakfast in the hotel, guided tour of the old Jewish ghetto, with entry into the Great Synagogue of Dohány Street – the largest synagogue in Europe –  and visit the Jewish Museum. 

After a picnic lunch in a park in the city, the afternoon is free in downtown Budapest. Dinner and overnight at the hotel.
