Yad Vashem

The Turkish president is expected to give a press conference later

A Polish court on Feb. 9 ordered two leading Holocaust historians to apologize to the descendant of a village mayor they said may have been implicated in a massacre of Jews.

But Warsaw judge Ewa Konczyk said Barbara Engelking, chair of Poland's International Auschwitz Council, and Jan Grabowski from the University of Ottawa will not have to pay a fine.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Wednesday visited Jerusalem's Yad Vashem memorial to the victims of the Holocaust, where he took part in a wreath-laying ceremony. Greece's conservative leader also visited the Garden of the Righteous Among the Nations, honoring the people who saved Jews during World War II. The list includes Evangelia Georgiadou, aunt of the Greek premier.

Investments, energy and the broadening of Greek-Israeli relations will be at the center of a meeting between Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday.

Mitsotakis' trip to Israel will be his first trip overseas after the coronavirus outbreak. He will be accompanied by six ministers, including defence and tourism.

The survivors in attendance were aged between 75 and 101. They have travelled from all over the world, mainly North America and across Europe, Israel, South and Central America and Australia.
