Macedonia Marks Holocaust Remembrance Day


The Jewish Community in Macedonia and the Holocaust Fund of Jews in Macedonia will observe Monday Yom Hashoah or Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The ceremony will involve the lighting of six remembrance candles and an exhibition opening which will be held in the Skopje-based Holocaust Memorial Center.

The Holocaust Remembrance Day is observed as Israel's day of commemoration for the approximately six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust as a result of the actions carried out by Nazi Germany and its accessories, and for the Jewish resistance in that period.
