Monument to the Murderers
- At the beginning of 1945, Budapest was a dual battlefield. On the one hand, the German and Hungarian troops fought to hold off the advancement of the Soviets; on the other, Arrow Cross militiamen – who, before the war, used to live ordinary lives as shoemakers, bakers, electricians – went on a manhunt against their fellow countrymen proclaimed as the enemy within.
- In the 12th district of Budapest, within a stone’s throw of where the massacres took place, a statue of a Turul grabbing a sword reminds us of the unfathomable sins.
- This film could not have been made without the FORTEPAN community-based photo archive, the novels of Gábor Zoltán, the research efforts of Laura Csonka, György Frisch, László Rab and Krisztián Ungváry.
