Holocaust Memorial Center for the Jews of Macedonia
Меморијален центар на холокаустот
A memorial beside the Old Bazaar that tells the story of 1943, when some 7,000 Jews from Macedonia were deported to Treblinka and killed.
The memorial center stands on the site of Skopje's former Jewish quarter and opened in 2011. The exhibition begins with five centuries of history of the Sephardic Jews of the Balkans and focuses on the tragedy of March 1943, when Bulgarian occupation authorities deported 7,144 Jews from Macedonia to the Treblinka extermination camp, where nearly all of them were killed. The museum features a memorial wall inscribed with the name of every victim, along with personal artifacts. Entry is free, and the center is closed on Mondays. It is located on the eastern side of the northern end of the Stone Bridge.
