The Salonika Petition - 3.10.00

Out of 360,000 Sefardim living in Europe, 160,000 were murdered by the nazis.

Judezmo was their mother tongue.

During the Second International Conference on Judeo-Spanish organized in Salonika (Greece) April 16 and 17, 2000, the Survivors of Shoah and their descendants asked that the Memory of the Martyrs be honored by
the addition to the Memorial of Auschwitz - Birkenau of a flagstone in Judeo-Spanish with the following text:

KE ESTE LUGAR, ANDE LOS NAZIS
EKSTERMINARON UN MILYON 
I MEDYO DE OMBRES,
DE MUJERES I DE KRIATURAS,

DE VARYOS PAYIZES DE LA EVROPA,

PARA LA UMANIDAD,
UN GRITO DE DEZESPERO
I UNAS SINYALES
