House of Terror in Budapest by Philipp Horak
Because for decades this was the most feared address in Hungary, 60 Andrassy Avenue, headquarters of the secret police, first under the Arrow Cross Fascists in the 1940s and later under the Communist regime. Now it has been opened as a museum and a monument to those thousands who were imprisoned and tortured in its labyrinth of cellars, sent away to internment in brutal work-camps or even executed. No other ex-communist country has taken such an extraordinary step in exposing its dark past, laying bare the brutal secrets of its oppression, naming names, honouring the victims.
