With in-depth knowledge, care and passion - Milan had an informative and well-organized visit planned. After he gave an overview of Hungarian Jewry, with focus on geographical, cultural and religious differences, we visited 3 synagogues that were close by, the ghetto, the ghetto museum and the cemetery. Milan has researched his topics extremely well, and welcomed participant questions all of which he could answer expertly. He also anticipated participants' needs, adjusting the tour accordingly what spaces and timing were concerned. He is clearly passionate about and dedicated to the topic. I can warmly recommend Milan and the tour to anybody interested in Hungarian Jewish history.
