“Keeping the memory of the millions of Holocaust victims unquenchable was and will be an act of resistance to the brutality of the anti-Semitism of the past and present” stressed Archbishop Elpidophoros of America, who visited Yad Vashem, ie the World Center for the Holocaust, in Jerusalem.
In fact, in his post, Archbishop Elpidophoros used the ancient Hebrew word Shoah, which means absolute destruction and is now used as a synonym for the mass extermination of Jews by the Nazis.
