What you'll see
Sixty pairs of old-fashioned shoes cast in iron, lined up along the edge of the embankment as if their owners had just stepped out of them. People often leave candles and flowers.
A brief history
The memorial, made in 2005, remembers the Jewish people shot into the river by Arrow Cross militiamen in the winter of 1944–45, who were made to take off their shoes first.
