About this audio guide
This guide to Klauzál Market Hall in Budapest begins with a set of burial instructions for the square outside, dated January 1945, then goes back to the hall's opening in 1897 as the pantry of the Jewish quarter, with its own kosher section. It follows the district's sealing into the Pest ghetto at the end of November 1944 and the part this building played in those weeks. Best heard standing among the stalls.
