The exhibition deals with the heroic action of the KKE under the conditions of the fascist occupation and during the liberation of Greece in 1944 by the partisan People’s Liberation Army (ELAS), which was led by the KKE, as well as with the action of the Party in conditions of revolutionary situation that was formed in the country at that time and in the subsequent conditions of the British imperialist intervention.
A large number of people of all ages were present at the opening of this unique exhibition, which includes rare documents and archival material, objects from the Archive of the KKE, while the rooms with works of art relating to the Occupation and the Resistance stand out.
The event was also attended by the GS of the CC of the KKE, Dimitris Koutsoumbas, who noted in a statement that the exhibition “mainly concerns the present and the future of the country and of the workers’-people’s movement. Important lessons and conclusions must be drawn from this whole period, so that in the new era we are facing now, they can be embedded in our struggle, in the direction of the final victory of our people, the charge to workers’ power, the new society that we all envision and for which hundreds of thousands of Greek men and women, communist militants, gave their lives during this titanic struggle.”
The event was addressed by the members of the CC of the KKE Makris Makris, member of the Bureau of the Attica Party Organization and Fanis Parris, head of the Historical Archive Committee of the KKE.
“We cherish our more than 100 years of history as the apple of our eye!” said Makis Makris in his speech, stressing that “We are proud of it and we are sure that with the contribution of every communist, the supporters and friends of the Party, the militants of the workers’-people’s movement, the young pioneers who will emerge through the unremitting and irreconcilable class struggle under all conditions, with our daily actions we will write new brilliant pages in history, until the final victory of our people, socialism-communism.”
“We aspire that thousands of workers will see the exhibition. Both to learn the real history of the people and because the great moments in the history of the revolutionary movement offer lessons, inspiration and perseverance for the contemporary class struggle, in the earthquakes to come”, stressed Fanis Parris in his speech.
