“The memorial march is a very important event for the city and has unfortunately been postponed due to the coronavirus and the restrictions imposed by the Health Ministry,” the President of Thessaloniki municipal council, Drosos Tsavlis stated to ANA News Agency, adding that a new date for the march will probably be set.
The Holocaust march begins every year at Eleftherias Square and ends at the old railway station from where the city’s Jews were loaded on to “death trains” on March 15, 1943 and taken to Auschwitz.
