On 27.1.2023, as part of an educational activity for Holocaust Remembrance Day, students of 3th Xanthi High School visited the Jewish cemetery, the tobacco warehouse, and then the city's railway station. They were guided and learned about the history and the Holocaust of the Jews of Xanthi by the representative of PAKETHRA, Mr. Vassilis Aivaliotis. The PAKETHRA posted on his facebook account the post below:

27.1.2023. From today's visit of 3rd High School students to the Jewish cemetery of Xanthi and the guided tour of the site by Mr. Vassilis Aivaliotis on behalf of PAKETHRA. The students, Christian and Muslim, asked questions about the inscriptions and symbols of the tombs, the restoration work of the site, as well as the stories of the dead. Mr. Aivaliotis answered the questions and recounted moments from the difficult maintenance project that PAKETHRA undertook, without particular institutional support. He also referred to the plans that the agency is developing for the future.

On the way from the school to the cemetery, we had the opportunity to stand outside the tobacco warehouse where the Greek Jews were held by the occupying forces in March 1943, before being sent to Treblinka. Thus, the children connected in the space of their own city what we had discussed in yesterday's visit and presentation in the school gym. The visit to the tobacco warehouse, the cemetery and then the silent railway station of Xanthi, had a special symbolism, as it took place in the context of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
