Several events commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day took place in Estonia on Wednesday.
One commemoration event was held at the memorial stone for French Jews deported to Estonia in 1944, known as deportees of Convoy 73 in Tallinn s Lasnamäe. Holocaust was the genocide of six million Jews, said the chairperson of the Estonian Jewish Community, Alla Jakobson. The mass murders did not take place in a vacuum. It was a result of uncontrolled and brutal hatred and the indifference of millions of onlookers, Jakobson said, adding that it is our duty to collect and preserve the memories of Holocaust survivors and respect the victims.
