The Shoes on the Danube Bank is a memorial on the east bank of the Danube River to honor the 3,500 people, 800 of them Jews, who were killed by fascist Arrow Cross militiamen during World War II. 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.
