Another Side (or Sides) to Pest

We didn’t follow a very planned route through the quarter but instead zigzagged up and down its streets. However we made a point of taking a few sights, starting with the sculpture that commemorates Carl Lutz, a Swiss diplomat who saved many Jews during the Holocaust.
