The President of the Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou, as part of her visit to Poland for the 19th Informal Meeting of the Heads of State of the Arraiolos Group (11.10.24), went to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
After the tour and the laying of wreaths at the Wall of Death and the Memorial to the Victims, the President said:
"Words are not enough to describe the horror of the Holocaust, the methodical extermination by the Nazi regime of millions of Jews, including thousands of Greeks, as well as many other fellow human beings. An unimaginable barbarity that has indelibly scarred not only European culture, but also the history of the entire humanity. At a time when peace, democracy and human rights are being tested on so many fronts, it is the duty of all of us to continue to fight so that such heinous crimes never be repeated."
