The memorial was constructed adjacent to the graves of three Hungarian soldiers who died in 1944 . A twin memorial , the work of János Víg is at its center . Placed on the circular stone there are the maps of the four continents shifted with respect to each other , with the affected areas marked with lead castings explaining the extent of the devastation visually . The section of the memorial alluding to ’56 can be construed as a victorious flag-carrier warship , indicating the fact that the Hungarian revolution was the first to succeed in forcing a break in the concrete wall of world-communism . In October 2008 a summary in three languages of the Resolution 1481 ( 2006 ) of the Council of Europe entitled '' The Necessity of International Condemnation of the Crimes Committed by Totalitarian Communist Regimes '' was carved on the back of the “ world wall ” . The two initiators of the aforementioned resolution , Göran Lindblad of Sweden and Latshezar Toshev of Bulgaria were the orators at the ceremony of the handing over of this text . In the years since , the memorial has been enriched by the Holodomor memorial stone donated by the Ukrainian minority in Hungary , by the tablet commemorating the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact , as well as the marble tablets honoring the memory of those slaughtered at Katyn and the Romani people ( gypsy ) and Jewish victims of communism . The memorial was created and is maintained by the Gloria Victis Foundation
