Bilateral Meeting Diary (3): Wednesday, 20th

                                         Alba      Aitziber    and     Lili
                                                           
                                        The House of Terror Museum

Everybody  met outside the Opera House. Here we took the metro to go to the Heroes’ Square and the city park. After seeing these two beautiful places we took another metro to go to The House of Terror Museum. Inside the museum we learnt about  recent Hungarian history, in particular how the Nazis and the Comunists tortured people from their own country during and after World War II.

What impressed us most was the different psychological techniques and the instruments they used to torture people: pliers to cut fingers and nails, water cells, cells in horrible conditions, electricity… We felt really depressed  because it was an awful event in our history. It was very powerful because it’s very recent history and the victims could have been your grandparents or relatives. We can’t image how people could do these things to other human beings.

Afterwards we took a bus to go to school to continue our projects about festivities. We had to learn our presentations so that we can present them to other students of the High School.

We finished at four o’clock and went to walk around the city because we had some free time.
