Påminnelse om galenskapen

Reminder of madness

“The idea to place a monument on the river embankment to the victims of the Arrow Cross terror belongs to Gyula Pauer, Hungarian sculptor awarded the Kossuth-prize, and to his friend Can Togay. The monument contains of 60 pairs of iron shoes, forming a row of about 40 metres. It is a commemoration dedicated to the victims of the fascist Arrow Cross party who shot the people right into the river, sparing themselves the hard work of burials. The victims had to take their shoes off, since shoes were valuable belongings at the time.” Shoes.

Skorna finns längs Donau på en plats mellan Parlamentet och Kedjebron. Man ser ofta att folk har satt ljus vid skorna – som här vid barnskorna.
Judarna radades upp längs Donau och sköts kallblodigt av Pilkorsarna. De fick ta av sig skorna eftersom skor hade ett värde. Jag blir mycket berörd när jag besöker platsen.
