Greece Acquires Photos of the Execution of 200 Communists in Kaisariani

Greece has acquired the historical photographs depicting the execution of 200 communists in Kaisariani in May 1944 by the Nazis. The Minister of Culture, Lina Mendoni, announced that the Hoyer collection, comprising 262 photographs and documents from the period 1943-1944, has been withdrawn from an online auction site following a preliminary agreement with the collector. The authenticity of the material was confirmed by experienced staff of the Ministry of Culture and independent experts. The acquisition of these photographs is a significant event for the preservation of historical memory and the highlighting of the atrocities of Nazism. This collection offers a rare testimony to the events that took place in Greece during the Occupation and is expected to contribute to further research and understanding of the period.
