The event was co-organized by KIS, the Jewish Community of Athens and the Embassy of Israel in Greece.
Ο Ambassaor of Israel to Greece Noam Katz, said characteristically: "Today marks one year since the darkest day for the people of Israel. Hamas terrorists attacked by raping, kidnapping, inhumanely and brutally killing 1.200 people, while 101 people remain captives. We are here today for the memorial service, while the trauma still remains deep, an open wound that continues to bleed. But we cannot let sadness and despair overwhelm us, but instead we must turn our grief into strength. We will come out stronger, as always, the Jewish people have proven it in history. I hope and wish that all the captives will soon return to their homes and that peace will prevail."More: EVENT AT THE ATHENS SYNAGOGUE FOR THE VICTIMS OF 7.10.23
