Kazinczy Street SynagogueIn a small side-street you can find Budapest's Orthodox synagogue. The Orthodox Synagogue was built in 1913 in what was at the time a very modern design. It has late art nouveau touches and is decorated in bright colours throughout. The stained-glass windows in the ceiling were designed by Miksa Róth.

Shoes on the Danube BankWe pay our respects at the Shoes on the Danube Bank memorial, which was unveiled on April 16, 2005, in memory of the Jewish victims who were murdered at this site during World War II. They were forced to remove their shoes before being shot at the riverbank, their bodies carried away by the Danube. The sculpture, depicting the shoes left behind, stands as a poignant symbol of loss and remembrance.
-
Budapest's Jewish QuarterTowards the end of WWII, the Jews of Budapest were herded into a ghetto, and a small section of the ghetto’s wall still stands in the heart of Budapest. Come with us and find out the secrets of the ghetto, the life of its inmates and their eventual fate.
