With the slogan #WE REMEMBER, of the International Holocaust Remembrance Campaign, the facade of the Hellenic Parliament Building was illuminated today.
The lighting takes place one day before International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which is traditionally January 27th.
With this illumination, the Greek Parliament sends a resounding public message of Remembrance against Forgetfulness, seeking to keep the Memory of the Holocaust alive and publicly and strongly declaring its opposition to anti-Semitism and all forms of hatred and racism.
#WE REMEMBER was launched at the initiative of the World Jewish Congress (WJC) "as an awareness campaign on social media, in memory of the millions of victims of Nazism who were exterminated in the name of hatred and fanaticism during the Holocaust," as noted by the Central Jewish Council of Greece.
Since 2022, iconic buildings around the world have been illuminated with #WE REMEMBER, while international personalities, heads of state, religious leaders, people of Art, Letters and Sports participate every year by posting their photo with the slogan #WE REMEMBER.
