Mass graves of executed communists from the Civil War discovered in northern Greece

By Nikos Mottas

Two mass graves containing the remains of executed communists from the 1946-49 Civil War have been discovered in Thessaloniki, Greece’s second largest city.

The graves were uncovered during redevelopment work close to the national resistance memorial, thus increasing the total of such sites in the area to six. The location of the graves indicates that it was likely used for the execution of political prisoners due to its proximity to the notorious Yedi Kule prison.
