Holocaust Memorial Center for the Jews of Macedonia, Holocaust memorial and museum in Skopje, North Macedonia.
The Holocaust Memorial Center for the Jews of Macedonia is a museum and memorial in Skopje dedicated to documenting Jewish history during World War II. The building holds permanent exhibitions, educational spaces, and an extensive archive of documents, photographs, and objects from that period.
The center was established in 2011 and marks the location where thousands of Macedonian Jews were gathered before deportation to concentration camps. These deportations in 1943 represented one of the darkest chapters for the region's Jewish population.
The center honors the memory of the Jewish community in Macedonia and documents their presence across the region. Visitors encounter personal items and photographs that reveal the everyday lives of families before the war.
The memorial is located near the Vardar River in central Skopje and is easily accessible from the city center. Guided visits and educational programs are available, so it is worth checking ahead about what opportunities exist for your visit.
Three urns containing ashes of victims from Treblinka are displayed inside, a powerful reminder of those lost. On display too is an actual train car that was used to transport the deportees during the war.
