It is my understanding that the original concept for the monument is Gabor Deak's in Budapest. Can you please verify that? If Gabor is indeed the initiator he should be given credit. Important to establish date when the idea was first proposed and by whom.

Is there a mistake here? The main Swedish house was in Ulloi Ut., but the house that people were marched from to the Danube was on Vadasz ut. From Battle For Budapest by Krisztian Ungvary p248 english translation: "On 7 January... Arrow Cross men attacked the 'Swedish House' in Vadasz Street, herded some 130 people to the Danube Embankment, and machine-gunned them." This is itself referenced to Hatar p918. — Preceding

I've changed it, because I've checked and I believe I'm right and I don't know if anyone is still looking out for this page. Please go ahead and revert if you know better than me. — Preceding

How can any Wikipedia article be so short yet so rambling and full of self contradictions? At the very least, there should be mention of when the monument was created.

There are opening quotation marks at the beginning of the second sentence of the Memorial section but no corresponding closing marks.

Inconsistency
The article mentions a 2014 defacement of the monument in which several bronze shoes were stolen, though earlier in the article all of the shoes were described as being made of iron. — Preceding

Multiple issues need to be addressed
Most of this conflicting information has already been mentioned on the talk page throughout the years. This includes:
Are the shoes made of iron or bronze?
800 or 20,000 Jews? Should we make a distinction between shot into the river and shot along the river bank?
Does the memorial honor the Jews shot into the Danube (as the lead states), or all 3,500 people shot into the river (as is suggested further down in the article)?

The inscription on the plaque "dedicates the work to the memory of the victims shot by the Arrow Cross militiamen in 1944-1945...3,500 victims including 800 Jews". They were told to remove their shoes before being shot on the river bank, and dropped "lifeless" in the river. Says "bronze" in Cutcher, Alexander J. Lasczik (2017).
