terror house is one of the best museums we've ever visited.
this house, in one of the main avenues in budapest, was converted recently into a museum, and in terms of design, presentation of historical facts, videos, music, environment in general, it's really really good.
it was so heavy, full of video testimonials. all with a lot of information.
i was impressed with this room, the gulag room. it was incredible how the two regimes, the nazi and the communist were so similar, having opposite ideologies.
there were people who, after surviving the concentration camps, died in the gulags.
it was a really heavy museum, but we got to understand how things worked. the phoney court sessions, the lies, the fear, the punishments.
a 16 year old boy lived there for writing "death to the communists" (or something similar) in a wall. they waited until he was 18 to get him killed. They could punish children who were 12 years old! the laws just kept being stupider and stupider.
it really deserves a visit.
in the end i though how it would be important to have such a museum or memorial in portugal. we too had our dictatorship, with it's state police who tortured and imprisioned innocent civillians. that should't be forgotten.
