Share on:

Mr. Stratos, a resident of Kaisariani, shared his memories of the Kaisariani Shooting Range, speaking to the Orange Press Agency. His memories are linked to the historical moments of May Day 1944 and the executions that took place there.

Referring to the photographs of the 200 people condemned to death, Mr. Stratos described the image that had been etched in his memory since childhood, when he first visited the monument. "There were four machine guns embedded in concrete."

Commenting on the photographic documents, Mr. Stratos emphasized the Nazis' brutality and the need for the photographs to return to the National Resistance Museum of Kaisariani.

He also expressed his anger at the vandalism of the museum, saying that the perpetrators "broke the marbles. What the Nazis did during the Occupation, their descendants are doing now."
