The Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece expresses the concern of Greek Jewry for the manifestations of anti-Semitism recorded in recent days as a consequence of Israel's war against the terrorist organization of Hamas.

Both graffiti in the Holocaust mural, which is located in the new railway station in Thessaloniki, as well as the damage caused to a Greek Jewish shop, are appalling.

The era of tolerance for anti-Semitism is definitively over and, neither in Greece nor in Europe, free voices can allow the return of pogroms against the Jews.
