» Λιγκιάδες Ιωαννίνων: «Περιμένουμε ακόμη μια συγγνώμη από τους Γερμανούς». «

«Με πονούν αυτά που έκαναν στο παρελθόν οι Γερμανοί» δήλωσε πρόσφατα ο πρόεδρος της Γερμανίας Γιόαχιμ Γκάουκ, που φτάνει στην Αθήνα την ερχόμενη Τετάρτη. Μαζί με τον Κάρολο Παπούλια θα επισκεφθεί το μαρτυρικό χωριό της Ηπείρου, όπου τον Οκτώβριο του 1943, 92 κάτοικοι – ανάμεσά τους και 34 παιδιά – δολοφονήθηκαν από ναζιστικό τάγμα.

In Brief:

During WWII Greece lost 13% of its population, some of it in battle, but mostly from the famine and from German war crimes. The Germans, murdered the population of 89 Greek villages and towns, burned to the ground over 1,700 villages and many of their inhabitants were also executed, they reduced the country to rubble, and looted its archeological treasures.

We request the German government to honor its long-overdue obligations to Greece by repaying the forcibly obtained occupation loan, and by paying war reparations proportional to the material damages, atrocities and plundering committed by the German war machinery.

Nuremberg

The chief U.S. prosecutor at Nuremberg, Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, insisted that the civilized world had no choice but to demand justice. He looked the Nazi leaders straight in the eye and told the court:

«No charity can disguise the fact that the forces which these defendants represent … are the darkest and most sinister force in society,” Jackson said. “By their fruits we best know them. Their acts have bathed the world in blood and set civilization back a century.  They have subjected their European neighbors to every outrage and torture. …

“The real complaining party at your bar is civilization. … Civilization asks whether law is so laggard as to be utterly helpless to deal with crimes of this magnitude by criminals of this order of importance.”

The prescient Jackson foresaw a time when not just the vanquished Nazis, but also America’s own leaders might deserve to be put in the dock:

“But the ultimate step in avoiding periodic wars … is to make statesmen responsible to law. And let me make clear that while this law is first applied against German aggressors, the law includes, and if it is to serve any useful purpose it must condemn, aggression by any other nations, including those which sit here now in judgment.”
