International Day of Solidarity Against Fascism & Racism
Channel: Bob Simpson
Date: 2013-01-20

We met at the Greek Consulate in Chicago on January 19 to protest the neo-nazi group Golden Dawn in Greece which has launched racist attacks on immigrants and is a deadly threat to democracy. There were several powerful speeches. This one is from Stavroula Harissis who described her family history under the Nazi Occupation of Greece and the subsequent Greek Civil War. She went on to describe her trip to Greece in 2011 during the intense struggle against austerity.
