Lonely Planet review for Shoes on the Danube

A monument to Hungarian Jews shot and thrown into the Danube by members of the fascist Arrow Cross Party in 1944, Shoes on the Danube is by sculptor Gyula Pauer and film director Can Togay. It’s a simple affair – 60 pairs of old-style boots and shoes in cast iron, tossed higgledy-piggledy on the bank of the river – but it is one of the most poignant monuments yet unveiled in this city of so many tears.
