Ministry of Foreign Affairs announcement on Holocaust Remembrance Day (27.1.2018)

Holocaust Remembrance Day is humanity’s small tribute to the memory of the millions of Jews exterminated in the Nazi concentration camps. Today, 73 years following the liberation of Auschwitz, Greece remembers the victims of the Nazi Holocaust, including the tens of thousands of our compatriots, Greek Jews, who were victims of this inconceivable barbarity. The Greek State will never forget the heinous crimes perpetrated against the Greek Jews. Greece unequivocally condemns all forms of anti-Semitism and has undertaken systematic efforts to combat intolerance and racism. In the context of this ongoing effort to redress historical injustices against the Greek Jewish community, the work that is to begin soon on the construction of the Thessaloniki Holocaust Museum is an important step in the institutional enshrinement of the memory of the Holocaust. The presence of the President of Israel, Reuven Rivlin, and Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras at the groundbreaking ceremony reaffirms the Greek government’s strong and practical commitment to the values of humanism, so that humanity may never again experience such atrocities.
