"THE gloomy basement beneath the four-storey building on Budapest's grand Andrassy boulevard is quiet. And ominous.
Known by the fascists as "the House of Loyalty", the handsome building at 60 Andrassy, not far along the tree-lined boulevard from the opera house, was the headquarters of the Arrow Cross Party, an ultra-nationalist, poisonously anti-Semitic group named after its emblem, a cross with arrowheads at each point.
Today, the building has been converted into a museum named the House of Terror, with school groups and a daily flow of hundreds of ordinary Hungarians wandering through modern displays, reconstructed rooms and parts of the basement that have been left as they were in the 1940s.
