Descendants of the Greek Jews of Rhodes converged on the island from all quarters on Tuesday for a memorial gathering to commemorate their ancestors who perished in the Holocaust, ANA reports.
They organized a commemorative march from the Holocaust Memorial located in the Medieval Town of Rhodes to the island’s port, where their ancestors were taken 75 years ago before they were transported, initially by ship and then by train, to the Auschwitz concentration camp.
The memorial ceremony took place in the presence of the President of the Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece, David Saltiel, representatives of the Jewish Community of Rhodes, and Sam Montiano, one of the few survivors of Auschwitz.
