Righteous Greeks in World War II
(Israel Hayom) Shlomo Cesana - Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu met with Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, praising the Greek government's steadfast opposition to neo-Nazi elements and recalling the story of the island of Zakynthos. During the Second World War, the Nazi commanders demanded a list of the island's 250 Jewish residents from the mayor and chief bishop. The list they provided had only two names, however - the mayor's and the bishop's. The Jews of the island were spared. "That was a demonstration of courage of the highest order," Netanyahu told Samaras.
