To be honest, the majority of them is not going to be aware of why the shoes are there. It is a bizarre and almost comedic image, the shoes along the Danube embankment and the tourists around them. The idea of the Holocaust memorial came from film director Janos Can Togay, who designed and made the bronze shoes with the sculptor Gyula Pauer.
