The Old Jewish Quarter of Budapest - A régi budapesti zsidónegyed - angol nyelvű

Összefoglaló

If a time machine could take us back a hundred years, we might not recognize what became known as the old Jewish quarter of Budapest. Simple one or two story dwellings stood in place of today's apartment buildings, with the first synagogues towering above them. Then a wave of renewal followed, many houses were demolished with new houses put in their place, and there were even plans for a huge, impressive boulevard. During the past half a century, this part of Budapest slept the sleep of Sleeping Beauty. Now, however, the area is being modernized, creating a new world with a new atmosphere.
