In the garden area is a metal sculpture of a weeping willow tree and anyone with the names of deceased relatives from Budapest can have their ancestors' names inscribed onto a weeping willow leaf (or so I was informed) - very meaningful.

This we didn't find in guide books and the tour buses don't go their as if it needs to be hidden. It told a great story and one that needs re-telling, link this to the Jewish Quarter. Take the Blue Metro Line to find it.
Very moving and quite an education! Took us a while to track the centre down as it is not in the main drag. But definitely worth a visit.
the place is far away, but good building outside. the place don't accept euro or cards, the attendant is rude, we can't enter to see because that. if you want to go need florins!
Don't miss this ! It makes you think about what happend x number of years ago and it reminds us this should never happen again !
unbelievable how some tourists have no respect whatsoever, we saw soemone actually meddling with the branches and leaves to get his camera in between the branches ,,,
the hain of rememberence gives the visitor the best impression of the terror of the past, to me it`s not the number of deaths but the realisation that they killed that many people right of the centre of the society!
it was beautiful inside. the tour guide was very nice but we had a hard time understanding what she was saying.it was extremely crowded so try to find a time when it's the least busy.
The entry fee was quite expensive and whilst the guys at the gate were pleasant, the ticket seller was quite surly as were the girls standing at the door. Inside the synagogue was actually rather peaceful and the information about the memorial garden was very interesting.
It's much better and more interesting than I expected. Very well put together and 'moving' the way it's done. Definitely worth a visit when in Budapest.
