In the picture, there is Vera Krémers's grave at the Jewish Cemetery. For many years, Vera Krémers and many other victims of the Holocaust were forgotten and the graveyard neglected. All the gravestones had dropped below the ground and engravings were illegible. Through an initiative from the Swedish Holocaust Memorial Association (SHMA), a comprehensive work had been done on lifting the gravestones which were 15 cm below the ground and cleaning and restoring them. |
The victims of the Holocaust die in Stockholm.
Seventy five years ago, on July 13, 1945 at 4.25 PM, a 25-year old Vera Krémer died at the Epidemic Hospital. She was the first of those who were brought from Bergen Belsen on July 8th by White Boats to Stockholm.
In the picture, there is Vera Krémers's grave at the Jewish Cemetery. For many years, Vera Krémers and many other victims of the Holocaust were forgotten and the graveyard neglected. All the gravestones had dropped below the ground and engravings were illegible.
Through an individual initiative from the Swedish Holocaust Memorial Association (SHMA), a comprehensive work had been done on lifting the gravestones which were 15 cm below the ground and cleaning and restoring them.
Work was carried out carefully by the company Stockholm's Gravvårdar on a non-profit basis. On the left picture, the graveyard is seen after being exposed. In the right picture, the graveyard is seen after the renovation and the mounting 15 cm above the ground.
Holocaust Memorial in Stockholm with 6 stone stabs with the names of death camps where 6 million Jews were murdered was planned since 2018.
Today the 6 granit stabs stand between the graves of Holocaust victims. Some of them born 1930. That means as young as 9 years old when WWII started and 15 when they died in Stockholm. The Auschwitz stone is easily seen from the grave of Vera Krémer and symbolise the place of the death of her mother.
