“Hence you will not say that Greeks fight like heroes but that heroes fight like Greeks”

Dear all,

On the morning of October 28, Ioannis Metaxas addressed the Greek people over the radio. His proclamation was: “The moment has come that we will fight for the independence of Greece, its integrity and its honour.

“OHI day” is more than an anniversary commemorated with school celebrations and parades. It is a day to remember our values, our human rights and fundamental freedoms as well as the deeds of our ancestors. It is a day to remember that Greece said NO to fascism. We remember democracy, our inheritance, transferring this message to the rest of the world.
