Commemorative Plaque at Bougas Camp

Bougas Camp is located at the southern entrance of the city, in the area that once served as the military vehicle depot. It was here that 240 Jews from Larissa were transferred after being arrested by the Nazis on March 24, 1944, along with Jews from other cities. A total of 2,650 individuals of all ages were detained in deplorable conditions at this site. Ten days later, they were crammed into trains and sent on a one-way journey to the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Out of the 240 Jews from Larissa, only six returned.
