Regarding Barcelona Holocaust Memorial. "Barcelona has the sad privilege of having been, of all the cities in Spain, the one that brought the largest number of victims to the Nazi concentration camps during World War II. Although the official records give a figure of 730 natives of Barcelona deported to the camps, it is currently estimated that there were about 1180 men and women neighboring or linked to the city who ended up in Nazi hell."
