This is a memorial for the victims of the arrow cross militiamens terror. During WW2, in, people were brought to the Danube and they have been just shot into the river. The composition called "Shoes on the Danube bank" is conmemorating them. I believe that all the holocaust memorials do have their place here...this horrible thing must be remembered...
