On May 1st 1944 200 Greek communists were excecuted by the German Nazis then occuping Greece during the 2nd World War.
The executions were initiated as a reprisal for killing a high-ranking German officer by Greek resistance fighters just a few days before.
The prisoners were taken by truck to Kaisariani a suburb of Athens and were executed by a firing squad.
The Kaisariani massascre continues to be commemorated in Greece having under shifting contexts and had an extesive political meaning.
The excecutions were dramatized in 2017 in a film directed by Pandelis Voulgaris.
PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT THE PARTHENON MARBLES MUST RETURN TO GREECE
NEW DEMOCRACY IS GOOD FOR GREECE.
