With a rich two days of events the Municipality of Artaion celebrated the Memorial Day of the Jewish Community of Arta again this year. The events started on Saturday 18 March 2023 and ended on Sunday 19, with actions that included an elaborate program of honor for those forcibly displaced and tortured by the Nazi atrocity of the Second World War. The goal of the Municipal Authority, but also of the clubs that contributed to the program of events, was not to forget the crimes against humanity and the grim fate that the Nazis reserved for Jews.
Thus, on Saturday morning, it took place in the spiritual roof of the Skoufas M/F Association "Choral Music from the Concentration Camps", with Antonios Verberis, teacher of the Department of Music Studies, and the Choir of the Department of Music Studies of the University of Ioannina sang.
Then it became "Report to Iosif Lachanas" with speakers Theoharis Vadivoulis, lawyer - graphologist - historical researcher, Bella Aaron, Vice President O.P.A.I.E. and Dorit Perry, representative of the organization "Giving a face to the fallen". This was followed by a tribute from the choir of the 15rd Gymnasium of the Arta Music School with a message from the President of the XNUMX-member group. At Saturday's events, there was also a special tribute to the recently deceased Mayor of Ioannito, Moses Elisaf, with the philologist Katerina Schishinou, speaking about "the end of an era".
