Holocaust is the most heinous crime in modern history and it will always be our duty to remember the victims, Prime Minister Zoran Zaev said Thursday.
Never again, he wrote on Facebook to mark the 78th anniversary of the deportation of Macedonian Jews to Nazi death camps.
“This tragedy is deeply embedded in the collective memory of Macedonian citizens and is part of one of the darkest pages of history,” Zaev said in tribute to 7,144 Macedonian Jews killed in the Treblinka camp and the six million Jewish men, women and children, who lost their lives in concentration camps in WWII.
“As we are dealing with the consequences from this atrocity, we mourn all the families that had vanished, we mourn the relatives, the neighbors, we mourn the whole Jewish community in our country,” the PM wrote.
