Lonely Planet review

This new monument to Hungarian Jews shot and thrown into the Danube by members of the pro-Nazi Arrow Cross Party in 1944 is by Gyula Pauer. It's a simple affair - 60 pairs of old-style boots and shoes in cast iron, tossed higgledy-piggledy on to a bank of the river -but it is one of the most poignant monuments yet unveiled in this city of so many tears.
