a very touching memorial, which must be followed by a visit to the grand synagogue which once held up to 3,700 parishioners. One has to think of the misery of the last sabbaths when so many jews left the synagogue not knowing what would be in store during the coming week. So sad. More

It was extremely windy along the banks of the Danube, and it's a bit of a hike to get to, but there is a nice vista of the castle area on the other side, and the shoes are a reminder of an unfortunate time in the city's history. More

The most moving experience of my trip. All types of shoes and look like that have just been removed form feet! Very lifelike,and vary tearful when you understand the full story. Not difficult at all to find, just by the parliament building on the riverside More

difficult to reach but located just south of the Parliament building along the wall on the Danube. Very touching. Very little written about this and it was dedicated in 2005 which tells you something right there. More

Simple, extremely moving and a great work of art! I heard of it therefore looked for it, the signs though for tourists which are not familiar with the place are not good enough and one can easily miss the meaning of it all. More

And you´ll see it all. Even the parliment. Get of at the end station, get up on the bridge, go back to the... More

I have seen a number of Holocaust memorials, and all are moving. The simplicity of the way that this one memorializes the victims is particularly impactful. More
