The Embassy of Switzerland, in cooperation with the City of Budapest, Swisscham Hungary, and other partners, invites you to explore Switzerland’s presence and its historical heritage in Budapest.
8 panels to shortly tell 8 months of the International Committee of the Red Cross’ activities on behalf of Jewish population in Budapest during WWII. The period chosen is a crucial one, as it starts with the German occupation of Hungary in March 1944 (and then the beginning of the mass deportations, in particular to Auschwitz-Birkenau) and it goes to the seizure of power by the Nazi Arrow Cross Party in October 1944. Each panel is illustrated by documents from the ICRC Archives.
Location: Metropolitan Ervin Szabó library (1088 Budapest, Szabó Ervin tér 1.)
