Jewish group wants ministry adviser to quit over Nazi texts

The Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece on Wednesday called on the government to remove historian Yiannis Kotoulas from his role as Interior Ministry adviser following reports about the academic’s texts offering an uncritical view of Nazism. “What the ministerial adviser supports in his revisionist books about [Adolf] Hitler and the shameless justification he attempts to give for Hitler’s concentration camps, the aerial bombardment of Greek cities by the Luftwaffe and Nazi policy are an insult to the memories of the victims of the German occupation and the Holocaust,” the organization said.
