ABSTRACT
In the context of the contemporary rise of neo-Nazism in European countries and in Greece, the epilogue discusses the dangers posed by the gradual disappearance of survivors and the fear of former child survivors of the normalisation of the Holocaust in Greece. Survivors had to wait for more than 60 years for the public acknowledgement of Jewish genocide in Greece’s territory and especially in a city that had been one of the ancient centres of Jewish civilisation in Europe. The political and economic interests that underlay such an erasure were immense as was the damage on people’s lives, on families and property and for Greece’s cultural life. The allocation of responsibility to the victims was a convenient strategy to conceal the responsibilities of Greek collaborationist governments and authorities.
