Macedonia’s Jewish Community Commemorates the Holocaust, and Embraces the Future

Summary/Abstract: On Sunday, March 11, Macedonia‘s small Jewish community held its annual Holocaust commemoration in Skopje, in honor of the approximately 7,200 Macedonian Jews who lost their lives after being deported to Treblinka by the Fascist Bulgarian occupying forces. In little over a week in 1943, some 98 percent of the country’s total Jewish population thus disappeared forever, and with them a unique, centuries-old culture.
