> "Oxi," pronounced "oh-he," means “no” in Greek. Oxi Day recognizes the day that the Prime Minister of Greece told a representative of the WWII Axis Forces that Greece would not surrender. Subsequently Greece:
> inspired the world as the first country to stop the Axis horror, inflicting a wound that was instrumental to Hitler’s ultimate defeat;
> caused more Nazi fatalities in one day in the Battle of Crete than had fallen in the previous 15 months’ conquest of 11 countries; and
> was the only country whose religious leader publicly challenged the Holocaust during the brutal Nazi occupation of Greece.
> “If there had not been the virtue and courage of the Greeks, we do not know which the outcome of World War II would have been.” - Winston Churchill
>
> “Historic justice forces me to admit, that of all the enemies that stand against us, the Greek soldier, above all, fought with the most courage.” - Adolf Hitler
>
> “When the entire world had lost all hope, the Greek people dared to question the invincibility of the German monster raising against it the proud spirit of freedom.” - Franklin Roosevelt.
