One of Budapest’s most intriguing city centers, the Jewish quarter of Pest’s history and Jewish community are the site of this livestreamed, virtual walking tour. Hungary’s capital city was created by the union of three cities: Buda, Obuda, and Pest – hence Budapest, which was historically the center of Hungarian Jewish cultural life. Learn about this history; see Europe’s largest synagogue, the Dohány Street synagogue; and learn the extraordinary story of Eva Haller, a Holocaust survivor who joined the underground Hungarian resistance and spent WWII in hiding.
