"Our comrades, who lived through terrible times on Makronisos, emerged victorious, we do not forget you! Our daily struggle is a tribute to your memory! Not a single sacrifice was in vain!" https://youtu.be/8D0MiMy733om ">https://youtu.be/8D0MiMy73...

1946, while Europe celebrated peace after WW2, Greece was thrust into another period of misery as Civil War erupted with the British backing reactionary Greeks. Leftist parties - KKE/ELAS/EPON were outlawed. Military tribunals were set up throughout Greece https://www.theleftchapter.com/post/memorial-monument-shadows-unveiled-on-greek-island-of-makronisos">https://www.theleftchapter.com/post/memo...

"Thousands of leftists were executed. 50,000 were imprisoned & tens of thousands were exiled to remote islands. In 1946, Prime Minister Sofoulis ordered communists of draft age to be rehabilitate these "bad Greeks" into model citizens", on the barren island of Makronisos..."

"Despite the fact that they had participated in the national resistance against the Nazi occupation they were considered & #39;traitors & enemies of the state& #39;.
Their rehabilitation was called Baptistry of Siloam consisting of torture, living in tents in extreme hot & cold weather..."

"Prisoners were crowded 14 per tent & isolated from others by a 15 ft barbed-wire fence..prisoners were tortured with bats, iron bars, resulting in broken bones, spinal injury, blinding, psychological trauma & death for thousands of prisoners & continued even after the Civil war"
