"oh what a lovely day for a picnic"

The Shoes on the Danube - one of the most chilling things I have ever seen.

The Shoes on the Danube is a memorial created by Gyula Pauer and  Can Togay on the bank of the Danube River in Budapest. It honors the Jews who were killed by fascist Arrow Cross militiamen in Budapest during WW2. 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 away. It represents their shoes left behind on the bank.
