Xpat Opinion: Shoes On The Danube In Budapest
- 11 Sep 2012 9:00 AM
- getting around
If you listen to anyone talking about the Second World War, and more specifically, the systematic extermination of Europe's Jewish population, you will more-likely-than-not hear some variation on the phrase ‘Lest we forget.’ The poignant Jewish memorial on the Pest bank of the Danube is so discreet that you're unlikely to spot it.
