The chairmanship of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance officially passed to Greece on Thursday, with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis saying the country’s focus would be assuring that the Holocaust will not be forgotten as it begins to pass out of living memory.
In a video released by the IHRA, Mitsotakis said that “to remember is to be human; to educate on events past, the responsibility of the present.”
“As the years pass, it is our duty to tell this story,” he said. “To preserve the memory, to learn the lessons, to never, never forget.”
