Her Hungarian history differs
I enjoyed “Budapest, in Living Color” (July 13). Too bad [author] Robert Strauss and I don’t know each other. I could recommend names of restaurants where the “fare is not only hearty but has much flair.” The comment he makes about the Hungarians’ defiance of the Nazis was not correct. I and the other 20,000 Jews left in Hungary after the war can only give thanks to Raoul Wallenberg and a few other courageous individuals for saving our lives.

Reading Robert Strauss’ wonderful article about Budapest and seeing the color photo of the stained-glass-covered thermal pool at the Hotel Gellert brought back fond memories.
My husband and I visited the city almost 20 years ago and stayed two nights at the Gellert. I vividly remember swimming in the indoor and outdoor pools and being pounded on that hard massage table.
