Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA memorial to the Jews of a Greek town who were sent to Auschwitz by the Nazis is vandalized.
The Memorial to the Jewish Martyrs of Kastoria, in the northern region of West Macedonia, was covered with black spray-paint yesterday, the state-run news agency ANA-MPA reports.
“In this place, on March 24 1944, the Nazis gathered the 1,000 Jews of Kastoria and transported them to death camps in Auschwitz. Only 35 survived,” the inscribed marble slab reads.
Local volunteers reportedly help to clean the memorial.
