Greece’s foreign ministry on Sunday issued a statement for the 74th anniversary of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, noting that it was “ a day of responsibility which…brings to mind the darkest chapter of European history” and an opportunity to pay tribute to the millions of Jews that perished, as well as honouring the survivors, ANA reports.
A message was also issued by the ruling SYRIZA party, which noted that the Holocaust was the “ biggest crime on a mass scale in human history,” in which six million Jews were “ scientifically” exterminated in concentration camps in Europe, among them 70,000 Greek Jews that represented 87 pct of the country’s Jewish community.
