The holes in this wall provide a glimpse into Jewish life in Budapest, both past and present. On 29 November 1944 the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Arrow Cross organization of Hungary – Gabor Vajna released the Decree on the Establishment of the Budapest Ghetto.
The Budapest Jews had to move to the land of the 7th district enclosed by the Dohany, Kertesz, Kiraly, Csanyi, Rumbach, Imre Madach streets and the Karoly ringroad. On December 10 the area was locked down and at the entry the sign appeared: christians forbidden entry. By January the next year almost 70000 people were crowded into the apartments of the area, many simply being stuck outside on the streets.
The year 2014 brought the 70th commemoration of the formation of the Budapest ghetto.

The walls are decorated with colorful stained glass windows, and the bimah (Torah reading platform) is located at the eastern end of the room.

Shoes on the Danube Bank
The Shoes on the Danube Bank is a haunting and powerful memorial located in Budapest, Hungary. Here's what you should know:
Situated on the east bank of the Danube River.
The artwork consists of 60 pairs of cast-iron shoes, sculpted to resemble styles worn in the 1940s – men's shoes, women's shoes, and even children's shoes. These shoes lie scattered and abandoned along the riverbank, as if their owners had just stepped out of them.
This chilling display serves as a poignant memorial to the thousands of Jews murdered by the Arrow Cross Party, a fascist Hungarian group, during World War II. Victims were often forced to remove their shoes at the edge of the Danube before being shot and their bodies dumped into the river. Shoes, being valuable during wartime, were often stolen by the executioners.
The Shoes on the Danube Bank is a joint project by film director Can Togay and sculptor Gyula Pauer, installed in 2005 on the 60th anniversary of the Holocaust.
