Is the Holocaust Monument "6 stones - 6 million" erected at the Northern Jewish Cemetry in Stockholm going to be placed in the middle of the street in front of the Great Synagogue?
Just after the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, the Jewish Congregation in Stockholm (headed by Aron Verständig Szugalski and Isak Reichel) removed the monument "6 stones - 6 million".
It happened exactly on the 75 anniversary of the first arrival of UNRRA White Boats to Stockholm with the Holocaust survivors from Bergen-Belsen. Many of them died upon arrival and were buried at Northern Cemetry. Their gravestones together with "6 stones - 6 million" stones with the names of the 6 death camps were actually the entire monument. So Auschwitz stone, Treblinka stone, Chelmno stone, etc. were removed and hidden by the Jewish Congregation. The Death camp granite stones (200 kg each) were placed on specially prepared concrete constructions looking exactly the same way as these on the photo in front of the Great Synagogue.

Most of the Holocaust Survivors left Sweden after their rehabilitation for Israel. The biggest group left, the so-called Maapilim, approximately 650 people left for Eretz Israel in January 1947 on the ship S/S Ulua from Trelleborg.
