During the Holocaust 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 from large numbers of Hungarian fascist and antisemitic murderers and the Germans at the Glass House and in a neighboring building. The Glass House also had broader impact because it was used as headquarters by the Jewish youth underground which saved many lives.
The building is located at Vadász Street 29, not far from the large and well known Bazilika church and Hungary's Parliament.
