It was Monday, August 9, 1943, when the residents of the prefecture of Florina witnessed an inhumane and horrifying sight, as a result of a primitive and unprecedented barbarity: On a crude scaffold and in plain view, the corpses of 15 Greek citizens were hung, now lifeless corpses, victims of the brutality of the Nazi German occupation troops.

Of Ilias Maglini, Kathimerini, 9.7.2024:
Perhaps the shortest cliché of our time is the term fake news. Fake news, in other words. But what about false History? Fake History, that is. It is an older "species". It predates the Internet and social networks. And, usually, false History has long had another, very convenient, term: urban legend. Examples? Many.

How important is the constant reference to the past and the events of the Holocaust? How do we preserve its historical memory but also how do we pass it on from generation to generation? Questions that seem trivial, but even though they have been asked many times, they have not lost their topicality, especially in the modern context of multiple geopolitical crises.
The Holocaust marked the 20th century and the fate of the Jews of Europe as a horrific genocide, a collective trauma and a landmark, which we recall as an example to be avoided in the long history of mankind. Today, 79 years after the end of the Second World War, historical research, museum collections, books, theatrical performances and films, images and narratives bear witness to the many faces of Nazism.

At the beginning of 1943, the cordon began to tighten dangerously for the Jews of Thessaloniki. The Nazis had already forced them to wear the Star of David on their chests and remain in their ghettos, confiscating their shops and forbidding them to sell their personal possessions. When the first trains started to leave for Auschwitz, Poland, it became clear that innocent people would be led to their deaths, just because of their particular religion.
In this tragic situation, a Jew from Thessaloniki, Maurice Leon, realized in time the great evil that was coming. He had a soap-making workshop in the area of Vardari and brought oil from the settlement of Glossa, on the island of Skopelos, in order to make soaps.
