Holocaust Memorial Center for the Jews of Macedonia

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:47:36

This moving museum commemorates the all-but-lost Sephardic Jewish culture of Macedonia through a range of photos, English language wall texts, maps and video. The display documents the Jewish community's history in Macedonia, beginning with their expulsion from Iberia and ending in WWII, when some 98% of Macedonian Jews (7144 individuals in total) perished in the Holocaust. Downstairs you'll find an actual Bulgarian goods van used to transport Macedonian Jews to Treblinka.
