Shoes on the Danube Promenade - Global Citizenship Summer School (sitios de interés)

Right next to the Hungarian Parliament on the riverbanks of the Pest side of the Danube one can find sixty pairs of cast iron shoes reminiscent of 40’s fashion. Director Can Togay and sculptor Gyula Pauer collaborated on this project that was created to commemorate the Jewish victims that were shot into the Danube by Arrow Cross militiamen during the Second World War. There are three cast iron signs integrated into the monument. The signs read ‘To the memory of the victims shot into the Danube by Arrow Cross militiamen in 1944–45. Erected 16 April 2005.’ (in Hungarian, English and Hebrew).
