Summary
| Description |
English: Are your shoes here? If we do not remember the kind of things that happened here they maybe your shoes in the future. This picture really made me think that some hard working man along with his wife and child were slaughtered here, they were not soldiers but people like you and me. It accomplished nothing in the end, except maybe that we must remember to fight injustice and war. I am not Jewish, I am just a man who hates what people can do to others just because of their faith.
The Shoes on the Danube Bank is a memorial on the bank of the Danube River in Budapest. It honors the Jews who were killed by fascist Arrow Cross militiamen in Budapest during World War II. They were ordered to take off their shoes, and were shot at the edge of the water so that their bodies fell into the river and were carried away. It represents their shoes left behind on the bank. The sculptor created sixty pairs of period-appropriate shoes out of iron. Between 20% and 40% of Greater Budapest's 250,000 Jewish inhabitants died through Nazi and Arrow Cross Party genocide during 1944 and early 1945. |
