In the southeast corner of Liberty Square, the Holocaust Memorial was erected in memory of Greek Jews, citizens of Thessaloniki, who were exterminated in Nazi crematoriums. It is a modern bronze sculpture depicting the seven-headed lamp, the menorah, with its flames wrapping down human bodies. Crafted by a Serbian artist, professor at the Belgrade Academy of Applied Arts, Nantor Glid and completed by his son Daniel Glid. His models were the Holocaust Monuments in Belgrade and Dachau, works by the same artist.
