Claims Conference steps up aid to Greek Holocaust survivors

The Claims Conference will significantly increase its aid to Greece’s Jewish community in light of the country's economic crisis and the recent rise of a neo-Nazi party.

The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, which administers Holocaust reparations from Germany, said Tuesday it was increasing its assistance, giving $272,000 for 2012 to the Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece for social services to Nazi victims. This is up from $86,000 in 2011.

The Claims Conference also announced that following the rise of the Golden Dawn Party -- a fascist party with a Nazi swastika-like flag and Holocaust-denying leader --it would also fund an educational program on anti-Semitism for the first time in Greece.

Running on a populist, anti-immigrant platform, Golden Dawn won 18 seats in Greece’s 300-member parliament in elections earlier this month.

An allocation of nearly $120,000 will go to the Jewish Museum of Greece, which is establishing a program on anti-Semitism that includes a traveling classroom version of the museum’s exhibit.

So instead of learning about Greek history in Greek schools (they have recently changed our history books here in order to make them more pleasant to our ''friendly'' neighbours, Fyromians and Turks) we will be fed up with Holocaust lessons? They don't even teach us about the Genocide of Greeks during 1914-1922 but we will have to learn about Jewish Genocide? Something is terribly wrong here...
