One of the most horrific crimes was committed in Kalavrita on the Peloponnese in December 1943.
The events are vividly described from various perspectives.
The crimes committed by the German Wehrmacht in Kalavryta are just one of many crimes committed during this war.
The number of victims of the fascist regime of the NSDAP and its allies is endless, and the atrocities committed are almost unparalleled in their cruelty. And yet many still want to disavow these factually proven acts. Autocratic governments, right-wing populist and extreme right-wing movements and parties are experiencing a worldwide renaissance.
In Germany, too, history is being falsified at will. Disinformation and lies, anti-Semitism and xenophobia are part of everyday life, and fascism is on the rise again.
Especially in times like these, which are largely reminiscent of the Weimar Republic, maintaining a culture of remembrance is one of the most important issues alongside all the global challenges, because the past has impressively demonstrated where history can lead.
Using the example of the war crimes committed in Kalavryta in 1943, this book presents a semi-documentary, but also subjectively narrated, fact-based account of the events.
