تاريخ Shoes on the Danube Bank
The Shoes on the Danube Bank memorial commemorates the victims shot into the river by Arrow Cross militiamen in 1944-45. The Arrow Cross was the Hungarian fascist party that took power in October 1944 under German occupation, and its gangs rounded up Jews and others, forced them to the embankment, and shot them so the bodies fell into the Danube. Victims were typically made to remove their shoes first, because leather shoes were valuable. The figure commonly quoted is about 23,500 people, some 20,000 of them Jews, though estimates vary.
The Shoes on the Danube Bank were conceived by Can Togay and made by Gyula Pauer, and the memorial was erected on 16 April 2005, on the Pest bank between Roosevelt tér and Kossuth Lajos tér. Iron plaques with an inscription in three languages record the dedication, and the shoes themselves are cast iron and fixed to the stone edge, weathered by river spray. The memorial has been desecrated on occasion, and in August 2023 a tourist was reported to have stepped into the shoes for photographs, which prompted criticism online.
القواعد والآداب في Shoes on the Danube Bank
Shoes on the Danube Bank is a memorial to murder victims, and visitors should not step into, sit on, or move the shoes. Posing, jumping, or staging photographs on the shoes is disrespectful, and a reported incident in 2023 drew public criticism. Visitors are asked to stand back, keep voices low, and let others reach the shoes.
Shoes on the Danube Bank is often marked with candles, flowers and small stones placed by visitors, following Jewish custom for stones on memorials, and these should be left as they are. Selfie sticks and loud tour commentary are out of place at the water's edge. The promenade is narrow and near the tram line, so watch for trams on the embankment. Pickpockets operate around crowded riverside stops, so keep bags closed. There is no entry fee or ticket desk at the site.

Shoes on the Danube Bank lies on the Pest promenade, with the Chain Bridge to the south and Margaret Bridge to the north. Do not expect guides; cast-iron plaques at the site give the dedication, and the Dohány Street Synagogue and the Holocaust Memorial Center, a few kilometres away, give fuller context. Bring a small stone or flower only if you intend to leave it, and avoid leaving litter. When the Danube is high the lower path can be closed, so check conditions before walking down.
