Thank you for the pictures and the story about them.<BR/>I been 1n budapest in fall for the last 3 years, 2005, 2006 and 2007 and I have come to this point every time I was there. I partially knew the story as my Hungarian friends were able to let me know. Everytime we've been there we have prayed for healing of emotions of all those who have lost their beloved ones in the Duna. I'm a Christian Lay preacher and I mainly minister to the Gyspy in different towns of Hungary.If you have some time you can explore my blog about my travels into Europe, marcolafebrehungary.blogspot.com<BR/>Thank you.Marco Lafebrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03460097156431242826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17609249.post-88119812499267916332007-12-07T12:41:00.000+01:002007-12-07T12:41:00.000+01:00"This is the site where Jewish men, women, and chi..."This is the site where Jewish men, women, and children lost their lives.

A Jew was not saved if he or she was athiest, if he or she had converted or even if he or she only had one Jewish grandparent and was a practicing Christain.<BR/><BR/>Jews were killed for their ethnicity, not for their religion.Coolsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650001337874795892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17609249.post-36194705401642363912007-11-01T22:53:00.000+01:002007-11-01T22:53:00.000+01:00The Memorial was created by Gyula Pauer sculptor a...The Memorial was created by Gyula Pauer sculptor and Can Togay filmdirectorszalaicdanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160323983128249430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17609249.post-89696718137521478482007-10-16T18:30:00.000+02:002007-10-16T18:30:00.000+02:00wonderful arrangements of shoes....looking nice..I...wonderful arrangements of shoes....looking nice..It looks like my favorite <A HREF="http://www.shoedeals4u.com/project/Josef-Seibel-all-shoes-000001.htm" REL="nofollow">josef seibel shoes</A>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10841825663649697289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17609249.post-55753228310122626992007-10-04T17:51:00.000+02:002007-10-04T17:51:00.000+02:00These are wonderful photos. among the best I've se...These are wonderful photos. among the best I've seen. One small correction: the shoes are made of iron and not of bronze. According to the sculptor, the idea was to use a metal of no value, so as to prevent theft. As it happens, vandals did pry up some of the shoes,and no one knew what happened to them. But it turns out that they were thrown into the Danube (macabre replay)and they resurface d when the Danube water level lowered drastically because of drought. When I was there the summer before last (06), there were some pairs with a shoe missing.<BR/>But I guess this is the best one can hope for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17609249.post-18713088922618961302007-04-13T10:24:00.000+02:002007-04-13T10:24:00.000+02:00You might find the following video interesting.

It is terrible that toddlers were shot for their "non-existent beliefs."Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03555983380561784897noreply@blogger.com
