\"balf1\"<\/p>\n

In Balf situated on the western frontier of Hungary, now at last there is a monument which the whole of Hungarian society has owed for a long time: it was erected in memory of the massacred victims of a cataclysm, amongst them Antal Szerb, a most important figure of modern Hungarian literature, whose character is evoked here with extraordinary sensitivity. It is the merit of architect Barnab\u00e1s Winkler who realized and embraced the well-justified claim to get Hungarian society as such to face the tragedy expressed via a concentrated language of symbolism, encouraging everyone to have and show deeper empathy and considerations whoever are willing to get engaged in absorption when spending some time at the memorial site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t
