Ben Reuven - There Is A House In Budapest lyrics

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 [2x]

He stood alone to protect the Jews
From the merciless Nazi 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
