Menorah in flames, Holocaust memorial at Eleftherias Square, Thessaloniki, Greece
The bronze memorial features a seven-branched menorah formed by intertwined human figures rising to a height of 2.5 meters.
The monument marks the location where German forces gathered 9,000 Jewish men in 1942, leading to the deportation of 50,000 Thessaloniki Jews to concentration camps.
Two marble plaques in multiple languages, including Greek, English, and Hebrew, explain the memorial's dedication to the Jewish citizens of Thessaloniki.
The memorial stands in the center of Eleftherias Square, at coordinates 40.6334825 latitude and 22.9380105 longitude, near central Thessaloniki.
Created by Nandor Glid and Daniel Glid in 1997, this monument represents the first Holocaust memorial built in a Greek public space.
