The Holocaust Monument in Thessaloniki was vandalised for the fourth time this year, by people who spray-painted a swastika on its surface.
In a statement, the Central Council oif the Jewish Communities of Greece said: “Enough with the desecration of memory of the Holocaust victims by the seekers of obscurantism and all those who tolerate them. The repeated condemnations of antisemitism will be useless if the perpetrators are not arrested and brought to Justice.”
The Central Board also repeated its proposal for the endorsement by Greece of the IHRA Definition of Antisemitism, which provides a practical guide to the identification and the confrontation of antisemitic crimes.
In addition, they relaunched an appeal to reinforce educational and social awareness initiatives.
