Very moving and quite an education! Took us a while to track the centre down as it is not in the main drag. But definitely worth a visit.

the hain of rememberence gives the visitor the best impression of the terror of the past, to me it`s not the number of deaths but the realisation that they killed that many people right of the centre of the society!

The entry fee was quite expensive and whilst the guys at the gate were pleasant, the ticket seller was quite surly as were the girls standing at the door. Inside the synagogue was actually rather peaceful and the information about the memorial garden was very interesting.

It's much better and more interesting than I expected. Very well put together and 'moving' the way it's done. Definitely worth a visit when in Budapest.

Any visit to Budapest should include the entire Jewish quarter, with the various synagogues, with their interesting interiors and history, the amazingly meaningful and beautiful monuments and art installations that commemorate the Holocaust, and incredible written materials explaining their significance. You must see this--you will never forget it.

This was a little difficult to find but litle signs lead you through the neighborhood. The exhibit was interactive with audio and video and gut wrenching personal stories if survivors and non-survivors of the Holocaust. Might be good to do at the end of the day as the subject matter of course is heavy and stays with you.
