Starting from Madách Square, visit the famous Gozsdu Passage and visit two historical synagogues: the Rumbach Street Synagogue and the Kazinczy Street Synagogue, both being excellent art historical and historical examples and mementos of their own time. Visit mementos of the Holocaust: a remnant of the ghetto wall, the Carl Lutz Memorial, a Memory Wall, hear stories of miraculous survivings and miracle-making people who helped others to survive. Beside the monuments the streets themselves are also interesting, learn their stories and explore less-known interesting sights.
