The local government published a call in 2021 to design a monument that commemorates the civilian and military victims of the 12th district. The goal was for the monument to “realize an abstraction that represents those involved in a broader sense, one that is inclusive, where anyone can recognize themselves irrespective of religion, ethnicity and social affiliation. “
The review committee chose András Mohácsi’s plan that “ captures the symbolism of the void and hope. Through depicting the void the monument represents the crack in unity, the disappearance of extinguished lives continues to live on inside us as a painful void.”

Do you think the monument achieves the goals set up in the call?
