Description
The story of the destruction of the vast ancient Jewish cemetery that began in December 1942. More than 500,000 graves were uprooted; gravestones were used as building materials, even until recently; and Aristotle University was built on the ruins of the cemetery. This is the first article to analyze this event in depth.
