The fascist Arrow Cross Party under Ferenc Szálasi terrorized and killed Jewish people in Hungary throughout WWII. Approximately 20,000 Jews were shot along the banks of the Danube River in Budapest. The victims were forced to remove their shoes at gunpoint before being shot and falling over the edge into the river.
Created by Can Togay and sculptor Gyula Pauer, the monument is sculpted out of iron and comprises 60 pairs of 1940s-style shoes, true to life in size and detail just as they would have been worn and left behind.
Szabadság-szobor (Liberty Statue) on Gellért Hill. Erected in 1947 and designed by Zsigmond Kisfaludi Stróbl to celebrate the Soviet liberation of Hungary during WWII, which ended Nazi occupation.
