A minute's silence was held in memory of the victims of the Holocaust, the Plenary Assembly of the Parliament observed, on the occasion of January 27, which has been established as the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust.
In her pre-order report, the Speaker of the Parliament, Annita Dimitriou, said that the mass and methodical extermination of millions of Jews by the Nazi regime constituted the sad culmination of a series of crimes against humanity committed in the maelstrom and death hells of the Second World War.
"Already seventy-eight years later, the commemoration of Holocaust Remembrance Day is not merely symbolic, but imperative, as the old continent and modern democracies constantly face the unprecedented phenomena of a product of racism and anti-Semitism, calling community values into question and the European edifice itself, preeminently the initiator and guardian of democratic peace," he said.
