A delegation of 180 Israeli policemen is currently in Poland, visiting WWII memorial sites and Nazi concentration camps under the banner “witnesses in uniform,” accompanied by Holocaust survivor Shela Altaraz and her granddaughter.

On Monday, on the second day of their visit, the officers visited the Treblinka death camp, where the Jewish community of Štip, Macedonia, formerly Yugoslavia, where Altaraz was born, was murdered. According to Yad Vashem, Altaraz is the sole survivor of that Jewish community.

The police officer formed a human Star of David to honor the memory of the victims, and standing in the middle of them, Altaraz shared her testimony.

The delegation includes officers, commanders, non-commissioned officers, representatives of bereaved families, and police officers who were wounded in the line of duty from various districts, divisions and ranks.
