Honors Jews who were killed during WW II.Ordered to take off their shoes , shot at the edge of the water so that their bodies fell into the river . Represents their shoes left behind on the bank .

Maťo Krenčo

A very touching sculpture . The moment you realize you are standing in the very same spot where people were shot.., it just gets to you. You imagine them taking their shoes off, shot, corpses in Danube

Ahmad Al-Hussien

Read the story from wikipedia and go there. Very nice place and near to the Parliament building.

Amit Gaharwar

Spend some time remembering people who were shot under the Nazi regime. Once shot they fell in the Danube. The metallic shoes commemorate these souls.

Nantia Modsy

You can feel an uncertain sadness because of the history behind, you have too lay on the ground for good pictures ????

Georgia Little

Remember the horror of the Nazi genocide of the Jewish people. Over a million Hungarian Jews were murdered before the end of the War.

Exactly there are 50 pairs of bronze shoes .

Adam Nowek

A subtle yet stark monument to those slaughtered at this very spot. Usually crowded with tourists who don't know the story and treat it like a theme park .

Carl Griffin

Incredibly thought provoking memorial.

Maxwell House

A touching and fitting memorial to those who were executed here. A moment to reflect. No photos.

Too much prayer materials like stones , pebbles , fake fading flowers , ribbons and candles left behind. Should be maintained daily

Touching installation.

Daniel Carrera

It’s impossible not to think about the 3,500 people that had to leave there shoes there before being thrown to the river , impossible not to think how those “shoes ” once belong to someone.

Ирина Жиркова

Это один из лучших памятников . И это очень трогает. Действительно чувствуешь и страх и грусть и безнадежность от того что все это было, где то ещё есть, и конечно будет. Речь о жестокости

Dafni - Δάφνη ????

Bu ayakkabılar 2. Dünya savaşı sırasında Tuna nehri kenarında sırtından vurulmuş Yahudilerin ayakkabılırını simgeliyor. Üzücü bir hikaye...

Dafni - Δάφνη ????

Tuna Nehri kıyısında yürümek de Budapeşte'nin önemli bir aktivitesi.Nehir kıyısında Parlamento Binasına yakın yerde demirden ayakkabılar göreceksiniz (Shoes on Danube).

Mémorial dédié aux victimes juives de Shoah. Personnes fusillées sur cette rive ont dû enlever leurs chaussures avant d'être fusillées ????????. Sur 45 m, ces chaussures représentent la bêtise humaine.

Место трагедии и боли. Очень крутая инсталляция . Быть обязательно.

Обязательное для посещения место в городе , всё равно ведь будете гулять по набережной .

Gercekten insanin bogazi dugumleniyor. O insanlari anlamak, hatirlamak icin gorulmeli.

Maxim Chaush

Особо познавательно там побывать с детьми ... чтобы они с детства воспитывали в себе осуждение жестокости ...

Alerrandro Correa

Em homenagem aos que foram executados a beira do Danúbio pelos flexas cruzadas. As vítimas tinham que tirar os sapatos antes de serem mortos e jogados ao rio.

Cem Güçbilmez

Şehrin ışıklarını izlemek için çok güzel ama ????

Из-за дождя все свечки потухли, но даже ночью в дождь мы сходили сюда. Впечатлили эти маленькие башмачки и туфельки.

Тупым туристам кажется классной идеей сфоткать свои грабли среди бронзовой обуви монумента.
