The Central Jewish Council of Greece, together with Hellenic Jewry participate in the mourning for the loss of Yiannis Boutaris, the man who left an indelible mark on the collective consciousness of the citizens of Thessaloniki and the citizens of our entire country.
For the Greek Jews, the Yannis Boutaris It is A brave man who was not afraid and on 29/8/2014 he stood up against the followers of fascism and was sworn in for the second time as the mayor of Thessaloniki wearing the "Star of David" on his lapel publicly acknowledging that the Jews of the city are also genuine "Thessalonians".
For the Greek Jews, the Yannis Boutaris It is A fair man who on November 10, 2014, at the unveiling of the monument at Aristotle University commemorating the destruction of the city's Jewish cemetery, in a monumental speech acknowledged that "The city of Thessaloniki took an unreasonably long time to break its silence, but today it can say that it is ashamed for those loyal Thessalonians who collaborated with the conquerors, for those neighbors who misused property, for those who betrayed those who tried to escape. Above all, he is ashamed of the authorities of the city: of the mayor and the general commander who agreed without complaint that the workers of the municipality in one night destroy 500 years of memory and turn the largest Jewish cemetery in Europe into a place of skulls.
