LILI AND RUT – A Garden Reveals Its Secrets Garden Walk Event
One story, two families.
Featuring the Sztehlo–Árkay and Preisich families. The Preisich family—maternal grandparents of Zsófia Váradi—were Jewish. During the siege of Budapest, both families lived in neighboring houses on Városmajor Street. The Árkay house had a large garden. It is in this garden that Zsófia will recount what happened during those years.
She will be joined by her aunt, Katalin Preisich, who was four years old at the time of hiding.
Schedule
During the walk, we will visit the very garden where Lili Sztehlo and Rut Lichter first met. We will hear entries from their diaries, view materials from family archives, and walk through the historical locations of 1944–45 with Zsófia Váradi as our guide.

Budapest
The best things to do in Budapest! Several medieval bridges connect the 2 sides of the city that give it its name: Buda and Pest. Cruising along the Danube is a great way to see Budapest in all its glory.
