In 1944, the Nazis in Hungary rounded up Jews and Romanis, made them take off their shoes, shot them, then threw their bodies into the Danube. This simple monument memorializes that awful incident. The Hungarians have done this quite well: no big signs or outsized plaques, just the shoes. Quite moving and appropriate.

Powerful narrative and monument. The photo does it justice; great work.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Different type of memorial, indeed...Faved...
