The Jewish heritage in Budapest:

The Jewish district of Budapest is exciting and tragic too. It has got the second biggest synagogue in the world but, as well, it was a guetto where the Nazis forced the Jews to live, in times of the Second World War and the Holocaust. The Jewish district is on the bank of the east bank of the Danube river.
