Today was an incredibly unique experience. We visited an old and restored war time hospital that was built to serve victims of air raids during the war. As war times worsened, the hospital began to accommodate all kinds of victims and became extremely overcrowded. Walking through the corridors, the rooms were filled with wax figures which gave us a perspective of what the hospital may have been like when it was operating. The hospital was top secret so as to preserve its location as best as possible to ensure the safety of victims and doctors. After the hospital, we watched a film giving an overview of Hungarian history and enjoyed a light lunch. Next we took a bus tour to Gellert hill, which has many important statues as well as breathtaking views of the entire city. Afterwards we saw the shoes on the Danube, which was surreal to see in person as it signified the countless Jewish lives takes in vain. We ended the evening with a fantastic dinner aboard a boat that toured the river ask offered amazing views of the city lit up at night.
