The Shoes on the Danube Bank is a memorial.
Conceived by film director Can Togay, he created it on the west bank of the Danube with sculptor Gyula Pauer to honor the Jews who were killed by fascist Arrow Cross militiamen in Budapest during World War II. They 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. It represents their shoes left behind on the bank.
