A Moving Memorial at Budapest

The Shoes on the Danube Bank is a memorial erected to honour the Jews who were massacred by Fascist Hungarian militia belonging to the Arrow Cross Party in Budapest during the Second World War. The Jews 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. The shoes which were valuable during that time were resold by the militia after the massacre. The memorial represents their shoes left behind on the bank. 👞 #2023travelwish #mytripvlog #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #passionpassport #celebratewithtrip
