Lom

A memorial in Lom on the River Danube indicates the location from where the Aegean Thrace and Pirot Jews were deported to the death camps in Poland.

Few Jews live in Lom now but the town has a Jewish cemetery with about 100 granite and marble tombstones. Most are from the 20th century, and some have beautifully inscribed epitaphs in Hebrew. Many of the older headstones have been vandalised and parts of the site are used as a dumping ground.
