BEN REUVEN lyrics : "There is a House in Budapest"

There is a house in Budapest
The Glass House is it name
At Vadász Street Number 29

Eternal shall be its fame.
And in the year of '44
When all was darkness and despair

A light shone forth from the Glass House
For Carl Lutz he was there.


He stood alone to protect the Jews
From the merciless !#@$ beast
And in that house he gave refuge

To the hunted Jews of Budapest.

Carl Lutz was a beacon that shone bright

When all hope seemed gone,
With courage and daring
This man so brave

With his protective passes and safe houses
Countless Jewish lives did save.


So let us praise this courageous man
This Righteous Gentile from Switzerland
Who rescued Jews from their sorry plight

And from that Glass House
With life and hope lit up their night.
