This year, the annual Holocaust Remembrance Day of the Greek Jewry was held virtually via Zoom on January 21. The event featured The Good Shepherds, an exhibition by the Jewish Museum of Greece (JMG) in cooperation with The American Friends of the Jewish Museum of Greece (AFJMG). The speakers included His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America, Ambassador of Greece to the United States Alexandra Papadopoulou, Rabbi Diana Gerson, AFJMG President Solomon Asser, and Dr. Mimis N. Cohen.
Held under the auspices of the Embassy of Greece in Washington, DC, and with the participation of every Greek Consular Authority in the USA, the event highlighted the especially vital need to Never Forget and also to continue to stand against anti-Semitism and hatred in any form. James DeMetro, founder and president of the Hellenic Film Society USA, gave the welcoming remarks and introduced the speakers.
