This evening we enjoy a special visit to the Freud Museum where the father of psychoanalysis lived and practiced before he was forced to flee to London. Day 6 - Budapest. Journey by rail into Hungary and its capital Budapest. Hungary didn’t start deporting its Jews until 1944 when most of Hungary’s Jews were deported to Auschwitz in only two months. The exception was the capital, where Jews remained living in a series of ghettos through to their liberation in 1945, the remains of which we will visit. Today we tour Budapest, visiting the site of the Pest Ghetto, the Dohany Synagogue (Europe’s Largest) and some of the Yellow Star Houses -buildings that were designated as compulsory residences for the Jews of Budapest in the summer of 1944. Check-in to our hotel for final two nights of the tour. Day 7 – Budapest. Continue exploring the Hungarian Holocaust story at the modern and interactive Holocaust Memorial Centre. At the site of the former International Ghetto we’ll learn about the heroics of Raoul Wallenberg and how he saved thousands of Jewish lives. We will also visit the small but poignant Shoes on the Danube Memorial, to honour the many Jews who were shot by the Arrow Cross into the river in 1944-45. We then take our evening flight back to London. Dohany synagogue Shoe Memorial on the Danube Hartheim Castle Theresienstadt
