From this window the site of the former gate of the Budapest ghetto can be seen. Ít was erected in the winter of 1944. Tens of thousands of Jews were imprisoned in the ghetto: tortured by hunger and cold, decimated by bombs and mass murders. Over two thousand victims were buried here in the garden. Today this window overlooks the largest Holocaust mass grave in Hungary.
„No one wrote, after Auschwitz, anything akin to „there is nothing new under the sun.” Somehow, the circularity or repentiveness of history was no longer an option.”
(Amos Oz, Fania Oz-Salzberger)
