Memorial for the victims of the German occupation

Budapest District V, Hungary · built 2014

The Memorial for Victims of the German Occupation (A német megszállás áldozatainak emlékműve) is a monument created in memory of the German invasion of Hungary, located in Budapest's Liberty Square. The memorial has sparked controversy and angered Jewish community organizations, with critics alleging that the monument absolves the Hungarian state and Hungarians of their collaboration with Nazi Germany and complicity in the Holocaust. Accordingly, many individuals and organizations leave improvised individual tributes to Holocaust victims along the edge of the site.
