Our last day out and about was greeted by beautiful
sunshine! It was a perfect note to go out on. We had two places to stop at
today and it was a beautiful day for it.
Our first stop was the Holocaust Museum, one of the best
I’ve ever been to. The information was clear and honest, also reminded the
visitors that people in Budapest helped and hurt the Jewish population during
1944 and 1945. There were many stories of survivors that were spread throughout
the museum. It also had sound effects that would echo throughout the building,
which gave it a creepy yet realistic effect. For example, the sound of people
walking was heard by the images of death marches. Very good effect, but very
creepy at the same time.
Our last official stop on the trip was the Jewish synagogue.
As the biggest one left in Europe, it sees many visitors, as it should with its
beautiful design and elaborate decorations. We learned it wasn’t destroyed
during the war because the Nazis were already too preoccupied when the moved
into the city in 1944.
We ended the day early in preparation of tomorrow’s travels.
Although the trip is over for the most part, I will always cherish what I have
learned on this trip!
