Images From my Second Trip to Budapest April 15, 2003 budapest-24.jpg - 24 of 33

The building in the middle of this photo with the overhang with letters is the very controversial "House of Terror", or terror hausen. A google search on "house of terror budapest will pull up a number of interesting articles for you to read about it. The short version is that when the Nazis were in control of Budapest this building was used for torture and interrogations. After the communists took over, they used the same building for the same purpose. This horrible irony showed both the far right fascists and far left communists having two things in common: torture and this building. I tried to see a tour of the house, but it was closed on Sundays and Mondays.
