KZ-Nr. 32730- Spiros ’Odyssee

The Athenian journalist Kostas Chamelos tells the odyssey of the Greek partisan Spiros Pasaloglou. His report is rough, direct, unpolished and therefore intense. His fate is representative of 10,000 other fates and of the brutal occupation regime of the Germans in Greece, a chapter of Nazi history that has been neglected in the culture of remembrance to this day.
