Artist's Description
Shoes on the Danube Bank is a touching memorial in Budapest, Hungary. Film director Can Togay created and installed this memorial along with sculptor Gyula Pauer on the east bank of the Danube River to honor the Jews who were killed by fascist Arrow Cross militiamen in Budapest during World War II. The victims were ordered to take off their clothes and shoes. They were tied together and shot at the edge of the water so that their bodies fell into the river and were carried away. Supposedly, only the first person in each group was shot and all were pushed into the river, in order to use less ammunition. Removing their clothes and shoes meant that they would die faster due to the exposure. The memorial uses metal shoes sculpted in period style to represent the victim's shoes that were left behind on the bank.
Budapest, September 2015
About Pamela Newcomb
Welcome to my gallery! I am the proud owner and creator of Pamorama Photography®, a Southern California photography business. I often combine photography with travel and outdoor activities. I seek to capture exceptional images of the world as I see it. I look for color, texture, and light as I photograph nature, architecture, sunsets, sunrises, seascapes, landscapes, events and more. I want my clients to experience my images with the feeling that they are present in the moment. I have created custom art by adjusting the detail, palette, and colors to suit decorating requests. I have had a lot of success with printing on metals and acrylic, and using light boxes. To consult about a custom version of one of my images, please send...
