English:
Rác Street memorial (or ) on and before the west fence-wall Serbian Orthodox church. This is a bronze WW2 related memorial by Balázs Kocsis (2009). Story: On March 22, 1945, an outpost of the Soviet-Ukrainian front reached the city, and three Soviet soldiers toured the Rács(comm.: Serb minority in Hungary)-populated part of the city in search of an enemy. In one of the houses, they first demanded wine and then attacked the young woman in the house, who was protected by male members of her family. Two Soviet soldiers were fatally wounded, the third fled and returned with his companions in the evening. They rounded up the men who lived on the street and then massacred the twelwe citizens of Székesfehérvár. They were commemorated on the 64th anniversary of the massacre. It consists of two parts: a split limestone block with the names of the victims written on it, and a shade made of bronze plate. The work, which originates from the road and then breaks at right angles in the knees and forms a human shadow that continues on the wall, refers to the victims brought to their knees before execution, or the absence of those executed as shadows. Translated by: Microsoft Translator - 17 Rác Street, Székesfehérvár, Fejér County, Hungary.
