Shoes on the Danube Bank

60 pairs of iron shoes stand on the banks of the Danube in front of the Hungarian Parliament Building, a Budapest memorial founded by Gyula Pauer in memory of Jews murdered by the Nazis during World War II. German forces learned one night that some Jews were hiding in the Swedish embassy building, where the Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg was helping them escape from the fate of the Holocaust, so the forces stormed it in the middle of the night and took all the Jews in it to the river bank, and these Jews were ordered to line up He took off their shoes on the banks of the river, and then they were shot, and their bodies fell into the river and were left to swim with the current. Announced on April 16, 2005, the artwork consists of 60 pairs of "iron" shoes symbolizing the number of people killed that night.
