Why are there sixty pairs of shoes on the bank of a river in Budapest?

Horrible part of history, but it should never be forgotten.😭

History, no matter how horrific, should NEVER be forgotten.....lest we will be doomed to repeat it.

Not only jews suffered in the Holocaust, a lot of Catholics were killed in the same concentration camps too... Hitler hated the polish, the Hungarians and anything that is not German...

Yah0odee, yes it is but truly there’s so so many it makes my blood boil to a certain degree that is that this moment in history is mentioned again & again... yes horrible yes there’s no denying that, lest we forget indeed but I have heard that the nazi regime killed less than Stalin but we don’t hear his regime mentioned half as much & Mao killed approximately 50-70 million, but again we don’t hear it mentioned nearly enough I could go & on all over the globe throughout the 20th century alone there was horrendous acts worldwide committed by horrible regimes. Hey Im not a historian by any means & not discounting what facts have been uncovered by the nazi parties acts of violence & genocide. For me, it’s just it gets my goat that we remember some atrocities over others when they are all horrible moments in human history, in my opinion we need to always remember & strive to be better human beings to one another. Lol unlikely I know one can wish & hope :D

Player ShellSeller, the difference being that these were victims of genocide, not traitors.

Player #11026685, Hitler wasn't German himself; he was Austrian. He despised anyone who didn't fit his ideals of the perfect race.

We should never forget the past. That is why we study history. But the history I was taught in the USA is wrong. when it comes to racism. It has been happening for years. Alot of white people never realized it until lately. What Hitler and Stalin did was evil. We should never forget. We need to start caring for one another. Be the good Samaritan. No matter where we come from. Or who we are. Then statues of good people should remain stand lest we forget.

My bff's mother was one of those people lined up by the Danube, day after day. Long story but she was saved by a hair from being shot in the head bc of a sudden change of plans. She's was 6 at the time

Player #11026685, yes yes Gypsies & homosexuals & people of impaired means too.

God bless these innocent souls.

we are watching a Holocaust live at the moment when we are going to remove our shoes for it

THAT HORSES BEHIND WAS HORRIBLE TO JEWS AND MILLIONS OF OTHERS. STALIN AS WELL. STALINS OWN DAUGHTER CAME HERE TO THE USA TO GET AWAY FROM HIM.

Therefore, we cannot ban books or language.

Player #27741749, History is written by the winners.

Player #28394266, It's obvious you're not an English teacher! Woke is the past tense of wake. When we're WOKE, we are aware of the facts. NOT propaganda. So sorry you're so confused. I genuinely hope you're not passing that confusion on to your students 😳

Indeed it is a horrible history. It was a very big massacre in the history. It should never be forgotten.

Davy, Livingston, believe it, or not, there is a growing group of people in America that would like to see this happen to other people that don’t believe the way they do.

Player #11026685, he also hated anything with dark hair and brown eyes

meldawg, Excet, he didn't fit his idea of a perfect race either. Perhaps his narcissistic borderline personality was finally quieted by a realization that he didn't make the mark and the neo-nazis would finally turn on him.

Player #11026685, I found the book about, Hitler's Black victims at the Smithsonian Holocaust Museum. It appears they were the first to perish and have been all but forgotten.

* Seshati *, Couldn't agree more!!!

the horrific things done to jews and others during ww2 should never be repeated. now putting is having innocent Ukrainians shot for no reason except his wanting to control everyone. when will people learn?

Player #11026685, and Romani, and homosexuals, and disabled, and mentally ill, and . . .

Im sitting here trying to imagine the prayer of the next man when the corpse of his friend before him hits the water. I guess fear was absent for they have already embrace death, of all chaos around him he was at peace, actually he was more at peace than the man behind the trigger. RIP warriors, we shall never forget, massive respect from Fiji.

Hitler wanted to make the world judenrein-free of Jews. No other group was slated for extinction so comments regarding other groups are sad but not comparable. My parents were both survivors so I know that is true. I am also a history teacher. Nothing in history can compare to this horror except the denial of this event by today’s haters. There are still many acts of anti semitism in the world today that most people don’t know about because the media is complicit in covering them up. It’s time to wake up to truth instead of being woke to progressive propaganda.

happy hippo, ,.exactly.....

l had no idea. So happy to know that information. Thank you

we should dig history why that things happen....

Player #11026685, how about you look up "Arrow Cross militia" and educate yourself.

You forgot to mention that in order to save ammunition, the Jews were chained to each other and only a few were shot, dragging down the rest to the bottom of the river.

emotive memorial_ horrendous crimes against humanity

happy hippo, Actually 3500 of them were people . The labels fell off .

omg😢this really breaks my heart

This is precicely why momuments should remain so that this tyrrany never happwns again.
