Abstract

The chapter discusses the mostly unknown Greek memory landscape and juxtaposes it to official and institutional policies from Greece and Germany. It introduces dominant and competing narratives, as well as the development of fragmented memory politics. The chapter also explains the role of places of terror and martyr villages as important places of memory and thereby explains the term “martyr village” within Greece.

Characteristic is the case of Thessaloniki. The Greek Jewish community has still not received the recognition it should in public spaces. For a more in-depth analysis, see Droumpouki 2014, pp. 273–351

In 2018 I accompanied a group of youth trainers for political and civic education to Kalavryta as an expert. I informed the group that they would be visiting the Museum of Kalavryta without stating its official name, which is Municipal Museum for the Kalavrytan Holocaust (transliterated: Dimotiko Mouseio gia to Kalavrytino Olokaftoma). After some trainers googled the Museum, they began asking about the Jews of Kalavryta, but there was no Jewish community in Kalavryta. Confusion of the term in international contexts appears to irritate international audiences.

In the Municipal Museum for the Kalavrytan Holocaust, the English guided tour starts by explaining the term holocaust, referring to its meaning of “complete destruction of Kalavryta”. This is an important part of understanding the local history. I had the pleasure of taking the tour led by the museum’s excellent historian, Savvas Kazanis, who follows the practice of clarifying the term before starting the tour.
