@ariannapapalexopoulos: This past summer, I sat down with my friend ilias’ grandmother, Vasiliki Georgopoulou, who lived through unimaginable horrors. She was just five years old during the Nazis’ largest single massacre in occupied Greece. December 13, 1943: German troops ordered all male residents of Kalavryta, aged fourteen and older, to gather at the mountaintop where nearly 700 young boys and men were executed by machine gun. 81 years later, we continue to honor the memory of the victims of the Holocaust of Kalavryta. May their stories never be forgotten. Κρατάμε τη μνήμη ζωντανή. Για τους νεκρούς μας, για το μέλλον μας. ΠΟΤΕ ΠΙΑ ΠΟΛΕΜΟΣ. ΠΟΤΕ ΠΙΑ ΦΑΣΙΣΜΟΣ. 🎥: @alexipapalexopoulos #kalavryta #greek #History #greekhistory #kalavrita #greece #greektiktok #greektiktoker #war #germans

παραλίγο να σκοτώσουν την γιαγια μου, μπήκαν στο σπίτι την χαστούκισαν και λιποθύμησε, έκαψαν όλα τα βιβλιάρια της οικογένεια και η γιαγια μου δεν ξέρει την ηλικία της ούτε τα γενέθλια της

Thank you for sharing this! My Papou was the last survivor of the massacre at Kerpini just outside Kalavryta on December 8 and commemorated the anniversary last December before passing in January.

Να σαι καλά που τα μοιράζεσαι μαζί μας. Να θυμούνται οι παλιοί, να μαθαίνουν οι νεότεροι. Πόσο πόνο έχουν κουβαλήσει αυτοί οι άνθρωποι..

My pappou was from Skepasto, maybe a 5 minute drive from Kalavryta. Him and his dad, along with a group of men, were held at gunpoint for hours before being let go.
