Macedonia marks tragic Holocaust anniversary
SKOPJE, Macedonia -- Macedonia marked the 70th anniversary of the deportation of nearly its entire Jewish community to a Nazi death camp.
Culture Minister Elizabeta Milevska led the memorial Monday to honor the 7,144 people who were deported. Only about 50 of them survived.
Macedonia was part of Yugoslavia then, and most of its territory was occupied by Bulgaria. The Washington D.C.-based group Macedonian United Diaspora called on Bulgaria on Monday to make a public apology for the country's role in the deaths of Macedonian Jews. -- AP
