Hard history


Budapest's Terror Museum is housed in the

building that once was the headquarters 

of the secret police of both the Nazi and the 
Communist governments.  It's not easy to take 
in the horrors that the Hungarians experienced 
during the mid-20th-century, but I think  every (adult) 
visitor to this city should do exactly that.  
Along with the Anne Frank house, in Amsterdam, 
this is one of the most powerful places I've ever visited.
