Beautiful and sad. At a thrift shop here in Sweden two years ago I found a book with hundreds of quality photos of Budapest during the age of Franz Joseph and the Dual Monarchy, prior to WW1. The captions are all in Hungarian, a language I'm not familiar with, but the photos often speak for themselves of course, and capture the boulevards, great buildings, parks, pleasures and fashions of those decades - and the mighty Danube, of course... 🌹💗
Google translate works very well with Hungarian, both in pics/text and spoken.
@@FurryCruz I know, I would have to type it in letter by letter of course rather than simply copy-paste a chunk of text. The book I mentioned is on paper, not digital - it was printed sometime in the 1970s.
@@louise_rose No you don't have to. The Google translate app (android and ios) has a camera function, you just need to take a photo to translate, but you don't even need to take a photo, it's enough if you just hold it over it and it translates live what the camera sees.
Not really, Google Translate is especially bad for translating Hungarian (Coming from a native speaker)

Do you have the name of the book?
Budapest is one of those cities where you can still see the bullet impact marks on many of the surviving buildings from both WW2 and the later uprising.
most of them are from the 56th revolution, not WWII
Havingbeen to Budapest its really fascinating to remember some of the modern landmarks and see what they used to be. Sad that so much has dissapeared
This makes me really sad. My father was from Budapest and came to Australia after WW2 with his mother and sister. My father never really talked about what they experienced during the war and what Budapest lost and I never asked as I thought he found it too painful to talk about.
too bad they haven't learned much since then... still on the wrong side of history.
Exactly. A friend of mine went to Budapest Christmas before last and left after a few days. He'd been before and loved the city. The last time he had trouble getting service at bas and restaurants, was called an immigrant numerous times, so left and met me in Prague. He's black..
@@stevemcgowen sorry to hear that..
He likes Prague better anyway and now knows not to go back to Budapest anymore. The people have MAGAt mentality...@@DacianRider
@@stevemcgowen Should go check out Bucharest, He'll love it there!
@@stevemcgowen Either you or your friend is a liar. All of Hungary is full of visitors, expats etc. of all races and no one gives a sh. In my home town, Pécs during my Xmas visit I saw two black guys playing football in a small football pitch among the apartment houses where I used to live and play football. No one is bothered by this.
It looked so pretty there,sad that so much got wiped out ,flattened.
Wonderful and sad. Great video.
I like that music. :)
Can't bother to add verbal narration?
Will any of them ever come back if not all of them?
It's hard to imagine that happening in large scale for many reasons, although it would be great. It happened in some places after the Second World War (also in Budapest according to the video) The often brutal and emotionally deprived look of modern architecture is depressing, and I believe is weighing down people who can't avoid watching such buildings because of where they live (which is much of the world's population nowadays).
Fortunately, some buildings have been restored or rebuilt recently. The biggest such program is the National Hauszmann Program if you are interested I can highly recommend you to look it up. You can find lots of interesting vision plans, and before and after pictures.

Adam something needs to see this.
In the 1970s we often visited the time-honored baths in Budapest. Despite communism, the great past of the empire was felt there.
sad
Such an amazing city so beautiful one of the best places olive ever been
The war changed a bunch of things.
The Russo-Ukranian war that will lead up to 3rd world war changes all.
😢😥
It’s OK. Viktor Orbán is going to restore everything.
if by restore you mean lose everything, then yes... he will. not surprised an egghead Austrian painter enjoyer / looking individual such as yourself promotes a toad like him.
