“January 27, 2025, marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Nazi camp Auschwitz-Birkenau by the Soviet army and commemorates the World and National Day of Remembrance of the Jewish Victims of the Holocaust”, reports the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement.

“Six million Jews were exterminated by the Nazis throughout Europe and among them 67,151 Greeks. We pay tribute to the victims of the Nazi atrocity,” it stresses, adding:

“Today, with only a few of the survivors still with us, it is the duty of all of us and the burden of responsibility to pass on the respect, knowledge, and memory of the Holocaust to the younger generations, so that the most heinous crime, the mass murder against humanity itself during the Second World War, will never again be repeated.”

“We must intensify the collective struggle against anti-Semitism, racism, intoleranc,e and discrimination and to work together for the peaceful coexistence of human beings,” it concludes.
