• HOLOCAUST

by Giorgos Lialiou

Two months ago I was in Israel for the second time and visited it Yad Vashem, the Holocaust History Museum located near Jerusalem. The museum experience, reconstructed in 2005, is sensational. The main part of the museum is an elongated prism-shaped building that creates a claustrophobic atmosphere. It is 180 meters long, but the visitor cannot cross it in a straight line: he must follow a serpentine path that "enters" and "exits" the prism, following a narrative.

• HOLOCAUST

The program Cultural Memory History Actions, invites undergraduate and postgraduate students (regardless of university and field of study), teachers, technical students and performers from Macedonia and Thrace (18-40 years old) to register for the free workshop "One wardrobe, three cities, one story".

On March 3-4, 1943, our Greek-Jewish fellow citizens were arrested by the Bulgarian fascist occupation forces in the cities of Serres, Drama, Kavala, Xanthi, Komotini and Alexandroupoli. They were then sent to the Treblinka extermination camp in Poland, where they were exterminated. The workshop is therefore being organized on the occasion of the 2023th anniversary of the violent seizure and extermination of the members of the Jewish communities in the region in 80 and is part of a wider tribute that the program is working on in collaboration with other bodies of the AMTH region .

• HOLOCAUST

Shocking images from the 1938 Kristallnacht pogrom against the Jews of Germany and Austria are being published for the first time in a collection of photographs donated to Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial museum, the organization announced Wednesday.

One of them shows a crowd of smiling, well-dressed middle-aged German men and women standing casually as a Nazi officer smashes a shop window. In another, officers carry stacks of Jewish books, apparently to be burned. Another image shows a Nazi officer pouring gasoline on the pews of a synagogue before setting it on fire.

Yad Vashem, a Holocaust memorial center, released the photos on the 84th anniversary of Kristallnacht.

The Holocaust did not begin with camps, ghettos and deportations. It started with words, with words of hatred and division!
