  • European Jewish Digest: Looking at the Headlines Across Jewish Europe
    EUROPEAN JEWISH DIGEST: LOOKING AT THE HEADLINES ACROSS JEWISH EUROPE VOLUME 2, ISSUE 6: JUNE 2015 1 / ISSUES CONCERNING ANTISEMITISM Violence, Vandalism & Abuse Instances of antisemitic vandalism and abuse occurred again in Greece in June. The disputed Holocaust memorial in Kevala (as reported in the May digest) was finally dedicated after the mayor agreed that no changes to the memorial were needed and it would be kept in its original location. However in his speech at the dedication, Panagiotis Sgouridis, deputy minister of rural development, was accused of abusing the memory of the Holocaust when he said that atrocities continue today including “the continuation of the extermination of the Assyrians by the jihadists, the invasion and occupation in northern Cyprus, the Kurdish issue, the blockade of Gaza, the genocidal dismemberment of Yugoslavia.” He added that monuments like this one was needed “because unfortunately many times the roles switch and the victims become bullies.” The memorial itself was then desecrated two weeks after its dedication, being covered in blue paint. In Athens, a memorial to the 13,000 Greek Jewish children murdered in the Holocaust was also desecrated with a Nazi swastika and SS insignia. The memorial is located next to a playground built in the children’s memory. In the UK, two Jewish men were allegedly racially abused and violently threatened. Whilst walking along the River Lea towpath in Hackney in London, a man approached the visibly looking Jewish males and allegedly shouted “f***ing Jews” before walking right up to the victims, saying “I’ll f***ing kill you” and “I’ll f***ing break your neck”.
