The Shoes on the Danube Bank is a moving memorial located in Budapest, Hungary. It honors the Jews who were killed by fascist Arrow Cross militiamen during World War II. The poignant sculpture features 60 pairs of iron shoes scattered along the riverbank, symbolizing those who were forced to take off their shoes before being shot and falling into the river. The riverbank setting and the scattered candles create a somber reminder of the tragic events of the Holocaust.
