    Budapest:

    The Great Synagogue has been restored to its Byzantine onion-domed glory. Theodore Herzl, the father of modern Zionism, was born on the site. A weeping willow monument remembers WW2 casualties from the District VII Jewish Quarter in which it sits.



    Visitors can see the adjacent National Jewish Museum, on the site where Herzl was born, gravestones in the garden and the Shoah Memorial in the courtyard, where each of the willow leaves commemorates a family murdered by the Nazis.
