Great post. The authority took over almost the entire block and joined together the basements of all the buildings it controlled.
Under the monitors Arrow Cross and SS uniforms are displayed. A building can be so much more than just bricks and mortar.
It still shocks me that such horror went on just a few decades ago.
You see, under the AVH, the cellar had been extended. Imagine if all the buildings could talk – oh the stories they would tell. I cannot agree enough with Earl Wasraw. However, without German backing and support, he would never have been able to govern. . This wasn’t just about how bad the Nazis were. I have visited this monument to human violence and many others in my travels and it has been an education in what we are capable of, both in terms of horror and cruelty, as well as the awe inspiring resilience shown by populations all over the world to overcome war and genocide and to move forward and rebuild their lives and communities. Main telephone: 202.488.0400 The ghostly figure of Ferenc Szálasi stands at the head of the table. In July when Horthy stopped the deportations he was removed.
It must have been awful for so many people to have never known any better. The Germans defended Budapest as a fortress, which gave the Soviet Army a long and brutal fight before the Soviets succeeded in taking over the city. At this time of WWII, all of Europe was allied with Germany against Soviets, either fighting through their own nation or proudly taking up arms through programs offered by the Waffen-SS (who’s members were over 60% non-German by the end of the war). The bodies were found in the courtyard of the Pestor synagogue on Dohany Street. I often think how lucky I am that I wasn’t born into a place and a time where this sort of thing was commonplace.
The excellent displays are not just informative but atmospheric and a lot of work has gone into making it a visual and emotional experience – not simply an educational one. But it’s strange to think of what was happening there not so long ago. To David’s point about the museum not being “just about how bad the Nazis were” – I agree. I visited this museum several years ago and was frustrated by human behaviors. Budapest, Hungary, January 1945. Hopefully most stories would be happy ones… it’s a pity that a building like this one has such an awful tale to tell. Beneath the main floors of the House of Terror building, the cellars remain and a visit to the museum ends with a slow elevator ride down into the bowels of the building to see where so much horror was inflicted directly onto Hungarian victims. Next time, hey? One wonders if Michael even went through this museum.. The original intent of the building was to prevent Soviets again entering Hungary. I hope all visitors to Budapest get a chance to visit the House of Terror to learn about this period and they can make up their own minds! The basement is awful, isn’t it. Teenage boys were recruited from here for an army that never had any hope of winning and many were sent to their deaths. For more than a decade it represented the cruel heart of those who would stop at nothing to rule this land. Kicking myself for not knowing about this place though!
work to create content and resources for the Holocaust Encyclopedia. 100 Raoul Wallenberg Place, SW You can also take tram number 4 or 6 to the Oktogon stop. Ice-floes drifting on the Danube projected onto the wall at the end of the hall conjure up the memory of Jewish victims shot on the Danube embankment in the winter of 1944-45.
