Memorial for Victims of the German Occupation
Monument in Budapest, Hungary
The Memorial for Victims of the German Occupation 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.[1][2] Accordingly, many individuals and organizations leave improvised individual tributes to Holocaust victims along the edge of the site.
