Memorial to Carl Lutz

This statue depicts a person falling and clinging to a sheet. The falling figure represents the Hungarian Jews, while the figure of the savior symbolizes Carl Lutz, a Jewish diplomat. Lutz issued thousands of protection letters, enabling approximately 60,000 Jews (about half of the Hungarian survivors) to emigrate during World War II.

His courageous actions saved many lives, and this monument honors his legacy as one of the "Righteous Among the Nations" who risked their lives to protect Jews from the Holocaust.Read more
