Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who is attending memorial events marking the 75th anniversary since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, paid a visit to the former concentration camp in Poland on Monday, ANA reports.
“I am greatly moved to come to this place, which has been identified more than any other with human barbarity. Truthfully, if there was a hell on this earth, then it was here,” Mitsotakis said, adding that his visit sought to pay tribute to the six million Jews killed by the Nazis in WWII – including 65,000 Greek Jews, of which 55,000 had died in Auschwitz.
Meanwhile, a delegation of ruling New Democracy party on Monday visited the Jewish Museum of Greece, on occasion of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
