The twentieth century was a difficult time in Eastern Europe. Besides political repression and difficult economic times, many people suffered as victims under rutheless regimes. Hungary, like its neighbors, was no different. Along the Danube in Budapest is a memorial to the victims of the Arrow Cross regime. Mostly jewish, the victims often dissapeared in the night and were execute on the banks of the Danube. This was one of the most understated and poignant memorials I’ve ever seen.





I have never heard of that. It looks interesting! Thanks for posting
I hope it won’t be corroded ’till I get there one day.
This thing with this poisoning mud really sets me up. Did you catch up how people think about it in Hungary?
@Silvia- Budapest had a really interesting museum on their 21st Century history- I think it was called the Terror Museum? Anyway, it shed a lot of light on it. I think just the fact that there is a memorial, right near the parliament says a lot about the awareness and acceptance of it’s history.
