For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource WWII Monuments in Epirus, Greece Description An account of the resource These images and text document the many and varied World War II monuments scattered across the rugged landscape of Epirus, in northwestern Greece. They also provide evidence for the strong culture of ongoing World War II commemoration in the region. What the monuments commemorate ranges from the Hellenic Army's victory over Mussolini's forces in 1940 through the role of Greek women in the war, to the victims of Nazi atrocities, and even a Communist dominated resistance organization. The collection is part of a larger project that includes scholarship on some of the memorials, and interactive mapping of all of them which will enable users to geographically locate each one, learn its historical context, and contribute to discussion about it. <a href="https://digitalexhibits.hollins.edu/neatline/show/warmonumentsgreece">View the interactive map</a> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Images provided for non-commercial research and reference use only.

The three-side pillar was erected in 2005 replacing an earlier memorial from 1990. The pillar has a dedicatory inscription on one side and a bronze relief plaque on each side. The bronze relief plaques depict ordinary villagers in positions of torment and mourning and a representative sample of villagers (a soldier, priest, resistance fighter, women and man).
