As part of their Hungarian History and Literature studies, Year 9 Hungarian Students visited the Hospital in the Rock and the Hungarian Museum of Trade and Tourism on Tuesday, 23 May. First, students found out how the hospital worked during World War II and the Revolution of 1956, then, in the second museum they gained an understanding of the role of cafés in 20th century literature. It was a fun and educational day filled with museums, scenic walks and delicious ice-cream.
What our students learnt:
The hospital was very crowded. Originally, they planned it to host 200 patients, but at some points during WWII it had more than 600 patients. - Levi
After a while there wasn't enough bandage in the hospital during WWII, so they had to take some off dead bodies and reuse them. - Jázmin
In the 1900s, the headroom in café houses needed to be at least 4 meters due to the smoke. - Sarah
We saw a music machine called 'Flóra' that was used in a café house more than 200 years ago. - Alex
