Those are very interesting places. Visiting the House of Terror must have been an unforgettable experience. The Budapest Central Synagogue has a distinct exterior. The interior is impressive.

Thanks for the informative post. A question: does the House of Terror have English language informational panels?

No, but you can rent headsets with more than 20 language to guide you around.

Many thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures with commentary on the history of the largest, and one of the most beautiful, synagogues of Europe. The Hungarian people and the Jewish people of Hungary have suffered much during the cold war era and World War II. In a world today of increasing antisemitism, we need to do all we can to prevent another Holocaust, and promote peace and goodwill among all peoples. Thanks again, and bless you Renny for doing your part!

such a sad part of human history but important that we remember so that hopefully we may never repeat it.

Hi Renny,

“Each and every one of us – in our own way – is responsible for not allowing it to happen again – to anybody!” – you bet, Renny! And I do my part so that we do not forget, and let not it happen again…ever again.

The house of horror is really horrible: I could capture the tense environment from here (the terrible things that were done there, just make me sick).

Awww, the synagogue is so beautiful!!

This post, Renny, encourages me to proceed and denounce fascism, racism, prejudice, persecution and any type of disrespect and violation of the human rights!

Fantastic!

Cheers

The first building looks so dark and scary… So many pages or dark European history were written here, as you mentioned. The best we can do is to not forget…

The Synagogue is just beautiful. I don’t think I have ever been to one come to think of it.
