Nazis and Comrades
Explore Újlipótváros, one of the most popular neighborhoods of the city, known for its Bauhaus architecture, cool coffee shops and very dark history.
There is more than meets the eye here, on the leafy streets of Újlipótváros. Our walk shines light into the dark corners of this charming neighbourhood by discovering its history from the Holocaust to the change of regime. We visit a safe house where they crammed thousands of Jews during the Holocaust, when the neighborhood operated as the International Ghetto. Following the Second World War, Újlipótváros, which was mainly populated by Jews almost emptied out. Nobody was watching, which made it the perfect spot for the Intelligence Service’s operations. We pass by buildings, where secret agents worked, and where the Communist party stored its famed car collection. We finish our walk at the Shoes on the Danube Bank Memorial, a tragic memento of the Jewish victims who were shot into the river.
