Walking in Jewish Quarter & FLODNI

Carl Lutz Monument is a powerful bronze sculpture near the Dohány Street Synagogue in the Jewish Quarter, depicting a gilded angel reaching down with a lifeline to a figure on the ground, symbolizing rescue during the Holocaust. Carl Lutz was the Swiss Vice-Consul in Budapest in 1944 and helped save tens of thousands of Jews through so-called safe houses and emigration papers. Lutz also helped to prevent the Arrow Cross Party from destroying the Budapest ghetto.

We went for a tour of the "Main Jewish Street" where there are Kosher restaurants, Judaica shops, Synagogues and other stores focused on the Jewish Community's needs. We passed the Madách Square- Gozsdu Passage which is th more lively shopping area.

Tomorrow we will cover the rest of the Jewish Quarter at night and visit the RUIN Bars in this area.Read more
