During the Holocaust, the Swiss diplomat Carl Lutz helped Jews in Budapest in many ways, including protection at the legendary Glass House (Üvegház). At one time, about 3,000 Jews found refuge at the Glass House and in a neighboring building from large numbers of Hungarian fascist, antisemitic murderers and the German Nazis[1]. The Glass House also had a broader impact because it was used as a headquarters by the Jewish youth underground which saved many lives.
The building is located at 29 Vadász Street[1], not far from the large and well known Bazilika church and Hungary's Parliament.
