During the Second World War, the inhabitants of a district of Buda in the enclosed capital began to hunt people. Led by a baker's aide, a spice, an electrician and a priest, their unarmed compatriots, including their own neighbors, were abducted, tortured and then slaughtered. In the immediate vicinity of the massacres today stands the symbol they use, a bird grabbing a sword, reminiscent again and again of the district's unprocessed past.
