Budapest Things to Do

Budapest is a beautiful and storied destination, but like many European cities ravaged by Nazi occupation during WWII, a dark history exists regarding the forced labor, deportation, and execution of tens of thousands of the region’s Jews. The Budapest Holocaust Memorial Center was erected to shine a light on this disgraceful and horrifying historical period, honor the victims, examine the changes that the Jewish community underwent in Hungary as a result of the genocide, and help prevent similar atrocities from ever happening again in the future.
