Holocaustdagen minnes i Netanya
Kjersti Inga Haaland Dato: 2015-01-27 The International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp
Today is the International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp. The municipality of Netanya held a memorial and unveiling of the Holocaust Commemoration Train Car Site.
The Netanya Foundation had the privilege of being a partner in bringing a train car from Germany to Netanya that was used during the Second World War to transport Jews to concentration camps. The train car was placed on the “memory path” at Yad Labanim to commemorate the stations between the Holocaust and Israel’s independence. Yad Labanim is in Southern Netanya where there are monuments in the area in commemorating Netanya’s fallen soldiers, victims of terrorist attacks and the Red Army’s victory over Nazi Germany.
