The Budapest shoe monument
This work by the Hungarians Gyula Pauer and Can Togay is one of the most emotional monuments to see in Budapest.
The work consisting of 60 pairs of iron shoes, located on the bank of the Danube, is a tribute to the Jews, victims of the Nazis, who were ordered to take off their shoes before being shot and drop their bodies into the river .
These shoes invite you to think that the victims have not disappeared and at some point they will come out of the water to look for their shoes ...
