Menorah in flames is a sculpture created in 1997 by Nandor Glid as a Holocaust memorial commemorating deportation of the Thessaloniki Jews.
The sculpture, initially built in a suburban area has been installed since 2006 on Eleftherias Square where a major roundup of 9,000 Jewish men took place in 1942. [1]
It was the first Holocaust memorial to be built on a public space in Greece and its installation marks a change of attitude of Greek officials towards the remembrance of the Holocaust. [1] The monument is regularly vandalized.
