Nazi Video Shown on Athens Subway as Greece Seeks Billions From Germany By Andy Eckardt NBC News
MAINZ,
Germany — Archival video footage highlighting Nazi atrocities in Greece
is being shown to commuters on the Athens subway as part of a campaign
demanding war reparations from Germany.
Seven decades after the
end of World War II, the 50-second video is being shown at metro
stations across the Greek capital to highlight the fallout of German
occupation after 1941.
A compilation of images
accompanied by dramatic music, the film starts off with the words: "We
save the memory, we do not forget." It also features the tagline: "We
claim what Germany owes to us."
It coincides with a
government campaign seeking $300 billion in compensation from Germany
and the return of "national treasures," which comes amid growing
tensions between Athens and Berlin over the Greek financial crisis.
