A sad memorial

[Chris J]

From recent trip to Budapest.
A memorial to around 60 Jews who were stripped of their clothes and shoes and then
murdered on the banks of the Danube at this spot in WW2. As a memorial to them 60 pairs of iron shoes have been fixed to the quayside where it happened.

Thanks Chris for sharing such an image. A reminder how intolerance can lead people to kill for no good reason.

For hhcanon - it was on the river bank by the Parliament building, but not easy to get to - have to dash across the busy riverside road....

For Sam - thanks for comment on posting. The way I usually do it seems to have stopped working, so will be trying the BBCode.
