Archbishop of Australia Makarios issues message on occasion of Int’l Holocaust Remembrance Day; feature posted on Orthodoxia news agency

The Archbishop of Australia, His Eminence Makarios, this week issued a message on the occasion of Thursday’s International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

In his message, the Archbishop underlines that “…There is no place in our faith for hatred towards our fellow human beings. There is no place for discrimination on the grounds of religion or ancestry. There is no place for sinister and stereotypical perceptions that foster anti-Semitism.”

In a related development, the general secretary of the Inter-Parliamentary Assembly of Orthodoxy, New Democracy party deputy Maximos Harakopoulos, this week addressed a letter to the president of the Jewish community in the central Greece city of Larissa, in which he refers to the WWII Holocaust as a continuing lesson for humanity to avoid any separation of societies based on citizens’ religious beliefs, as well as to absolutely prevent racist behavior against one or any religious community.

Harakopoulos is elected from the Larissa region.

A feature has been posted today on the pages of the Orthodoxia news agency detailing the Church of Greece’s efforts to save Greek Jews during the Nazi occupation of the country.
