Serbia marked the International Holocaust Remembrance Day by a central ceremony at Belgrade's Staro Sajmiste concentration camp memorial to celebrate the day when the largest Nazi death camp in Europe- Auschwitz -Birkenau was liberated 68 years ago.
The central ceremony held on Sunday included laying wreaths and paying tributes to the victims of the Holocaust, and Serbian Parliament Speaker Nebojsa Stefanovic said that this day needed to be a call to everybody to remember the victims because many brutal crimes had not been punished. ‘A monstrous plan to destroy the entire Jewish people, obliges us to continue to educate the youth and point our differences as something that brings people together,’ he stressed.
