(ii) The documentary by Tasos Telloglou (with contribution by researcher
and local historian Alekos Raptis) titled "Παρέλαση¨ (Parade) dedicated to
the memory of Yanniote Jewish victims of the Holocaust (aired in 2008 in
the "Νέοι Φάκελοι" (New Folders) series of the Greek TV station SKAI)[1].

The Holocaust Remembrance Day in Greece takes on special meaning
this year in the face of escalating anti-Jewish sentiment spearheaded by
the rising nationalist movement "Golden Dawn" (which has climbed to third
place in popularity according to current polls) in crisis-stricken Greece [2].

[2] The virulent anti-Semitic behavior embraced by this movement is indeed
palpable. It ranges from downright denial of the Holocaust by the
movement's leader http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXy7f17GXtQ&NR=1
to constant references against the Jews perverting scriptural verses and
folk songs as well as perpetuating negative stereotypes in order to incite
hatred [see the last three paragraphs in the URL below].

Regarding negative stereotypes, refer to the recent comment on a parliamentary
question concerning the proliferation of pawn shops in Greece, tabled by a Deputy of
the nationalist movement Golden Dawn at the Hellenic Parliament. The language used
speaks for itself: "... οι Εβραίοι οι οποίοι είναι αιωνίως οι αργυραμοιβοί επί της γης"
("the Jews who are the world's perpetual moneychangers") [audible at 7:30' onward
in the video clip below]. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8FipiiDSBU
PS. Evidently, the deputy's comment was not stricken from the record.
