n August 27th, 2008 (Av 27ts, 5768). In the “Centro Comunitario Chalom” in Buenos Aires, founded originally by the Jews from the Island of Rhodes, an act of evocation and commemoration was held for the victims of the Shoa from Rhodes, Salonica and Cos, and all the other Sephardic martyrs massacred for the Nazi cause during the World War II. Strong criticism was expressed against Iran and its president for denial of the holocaust. This act of commemoration is repeated every year on the Hebrew calendar date when the Jewish population from the Greek Islands was deported to the concentration camps in Eastern Europe, particularly Auchwitz, where they they were murdered.
