MARCH FOR LIFE - DAY II Sandra Sturzo
Today we visited the city of Tiktin, a village dating from the XVI century.
This shtetl, agrarian city, started with 10 Jewish families and grew to 3000 people with a rich cultural life and artistic economy, representing over 75% of the total population.
When he began the Holocaust, the destruction was absolute. The entire Jewish population was carried Lupujova forests, where they were killed in just 3 days.
Today Tiktin only preserves the old synagogue, which comes alive when the tourists visit because there are no Jews in that city.
