On September 11th, 2019 arrived the second Holocaust Monument "6 Stones - 6 Million" in Stockholm.

The Jewish congregation in Stockholm thought that the tombstones that are below the ground surface make mowing the lawn easier and reduce the bill for it. Most of the time, the meadow has not been mowed at all, and at the inauguration, neither the rabbi's feet nor the tombstones recovered by the Holocaust Remembrance Association could be seen. Here is the picture from September 11, 2019, when the Swedish Holocaust Memorial Association - SHMA, took care of the graves. Most of the work by SHMA was carried out in 2018-2020.

On September 11, 2019, the Holocaust monument "6 stones - 6 million" million came to Stockholm. It came directly from a stone quarry in southern Sweden. The special thing was that the truck arrived next to the second at 14.48 Swedish time. At that time, in 2001, the United States was subjected to the worst terrorist attack ever in the country's history.

Back to Stockholm on September 11, 2019, actually to the Northern Jewish Cemetery and the fields where the Holocaust victims are buried. project to restore the long-neglected graves of Holocaust victims who died soon after their liberation

The project to restore the long-neglected graves of Holocaust victims in Stockholm was to recover the grave tombs and identify those buried, not just by name but also to tell their and their family history that is, of course, the history of the Holocaust. Until now only the black grave markers with the number of were the only visible. The tombstones were sunken beneath the surface.

The graves in question — whose tombs are sunken into the soil and located in a separate plot of the Jewish section of Stockholm’s Northern Cemetery — are those of about 70 people who were ill when liberated at Bergen-Belsen in 1945 and who died soon after being evacuated to Sweden by UNRRA action White Boats, for medical treatment.
The project was started in 2018 by the Swedish Holocaust Memorial Holocaust Association. 

Viewings have been made since then. The Jewish community is now launching it as its own project. 

Before that, they have in something that can probably be called "Outbursts of Rage"* desecrated the Holocaust monument they had paid for and taken to an unknown location. They have not communicated it to the parishioners who had to foot the bill. Ashamed! The Jewish congregation thought that the tombstones that are below the ground surface make mowing the lawn easier and reduce the bill for it. Most of the time, the meadow has not been mowed at all, and at the inauguration, neither the rabbi's feet nor the tombstones produced by the Holocaust Remembrance Association could be seen.

The Holocaust victims buried in Stockholm came to Sweden with UNRRA's "White Boats" campaign. Most of the roughly 9,000 came from the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Most of the survivors who came then left the country during 1946-1948. Most to Israel but also to the USA and South America. In 2020, 75 years after their arrival in Sweden, the Föreningen Förintelsens Minne published a book "The Liberated 1945 - White Boat Mission from Bergen-Belsen to Sweden". The association's work in researching and describing "Local History" can also be found in the anthology published by the authority Levande Historia. In both books, the Association's work and the activities of the Jewish congregation are described. The Holocaust Remembrance Association estimates its work and materials at SEK 300,000. 

 

Here is the truth!

On the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the White Boats with the emaciated Bergen-Belsen prisoners, the Jewish Congregation in Stockholm (Aron Verständig and Ichak Reichel) ordered the removal of the 6 heavy memorial stones with the names: AUSCHWITZ, TREBLINKA, MAJDANEK, CHELMNO, BELZEC, and SOBIBOR. The memorial stones with the names of 6 death camps were directly linked to the 6 places where the deceased's siblings and parents were buried. Number of the stones, six, is related to the total number of Jews murdered, 6 million.
