History

It was erected on November 12, 1939 for the first anniversary of the Hungarian town's return to Hungary. Country flags were erected throughout Hungary after the country was torn apart in 1920 by the Trianon Dictate.

In 1945 the invading Czech soldiers (the minions of the Soviet Red Army) vandalized it, and later it was removed completely. Now the Martyr Memorial made by Nagy János stands in its place.
