“A total disaster, for which no one has been held accountable or punished to this day,” said the President of the Republic, who attended the events for the 79th anniversary of the Holocaust

“We don’t forget and we don’t get complacent. It is the duty and moral responsibility of all of us,” said the President of the Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou from Kalavryta, where she attended the events for the 79th anniversary of the Holocaust.

Mrs. Sakellaropoulou, after the doxology at the Holy Church of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary and the laying of a wreath at the place of execution, declared that “the massacre of Kalavryta, on December 13, 1943, is one of the heinous war crimes of Nazi Germany”.

“A total disaster, for which no one has been held accountable or punished to this day. An event that painfully marked our collective memory,” he emphasized.

“We honor the martyred victims, as well as those who stayed behind, elders, women, children, and fought to rebuild their lives amid terror and desolation. We don’t forget and we don’t get complacent. It is the duty and moral responsibility of all of us”, emphasized Mrs. Sakellaropoulou.

Afterwards, the President of the Republic went to the new Town Hall, where she was welcomed by the mayor Athanasios Papadopoulos, and immediately after she was guided to the painting exhibition on the theme “The Holocaust of Kalavryta”, the Municipal Museum of the Kalavryta Holocaust, as well as the International Youth Hospitality Center ” The vision”.
