Greece will seek to obtain Nazi execution photos offered for sale on eBay
AI Summary
Greece is seeking to acquire a series of newly discovered photographs that surfaced on eBay, appearing to depict the execution of 200 Greek political prisoners by a Nazi firing squad in Kaisariani, Athens, on May 1, 1944. The executions were a notorious atrocity during the Nazi occupation, but photographic evidence was previously unknown. The images, offered for sale by a Belgian collector of German military memorabilia, show the prisoners being led to their execution. The Greek Culture Ministry believes the photographs are likely authentic and intends to obtain them for historical preservation. The Kaisariani executions remain a significant event in Greek history, particularly due to the subsequent civil war between Western-backed forces and communist fighters.
