MONUMENT OF GRATITUDE, PLOVDIV

The white Monument of Gratitude on Tsar Kaloyan Square was erected in 1998 by local Jews. Its inscription reads in Bulgarian, Hebrew and English: "To all who helped to rescue us on 10 March 1943. From the grateful Jewish community of Plovdiv." Every year the citizens of Plovdiv gather at the monument to mark the date on which their fellow Jewish citizens were not deported.
