"The Shoes on the Danube Bank is a memorial in Budapest, located across from the Hungarian Parliament buildings. It was created by Gyula Pauer to honour the people who were killed by fascist Arrow Cross militiamen 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 aaa. It represents their shoes left behind on the bank."
