The Return of History in Pictures

Eight historical photographs have surfaced depicting the execution of 200 leftists in Kaisariani by the Nazis on May Day 1944. The photographs, found on an online sales platform and now being auctioned, depict the victims shortly before their execution, with some singing and raising their fists. The execution was in retaliation for the murder of a German general and three soldiers by partisans. The Greek state has initiated procedures to acquire the photographs, which are an important testimony to a shocking historical event.
