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 memorial is marked by low metal posts, painted white joined by a chain, and two cedar trees, the usual memorial tree for a cemetery. The monument is a simple trapezoidal form faced with marble and topped with the representation of a window bars that have been broken through. A plaque on the southeastern side records the circumstances of the battle and the single casualty, Lazos Oikonomou from Pyrgos, Konitsa.

Lazos Oikonomou from Pyrgos, Konitsas fell.; Οι Διγενήδες /Ταχιά, ταχιά ξεκίνησαν οι δέκα/και μ’ άρματα χτυπάνε τους ναζήδες./Σαν το δρολάπι ορμάνε, σα θεριά, /σε μαρμαρένι’ αλώνια Διγενήδες./Κι είναι τι μάχη φοβερή! Ο εχθρός, /μπρος στην ορμή λυγίζει συντριμμένος, / Μια ακόμα νίκη μα και θλίψη, όντας/γέρνει νέκρος ο πιο αντρειωμένος. /Λάφυρα και νεκρό στους ώμους θέτουν/και στα βουνά γυρίζουν νικητήδες/με λύπης κλάμα και χαράς τραγούδι, /της λευτεριάς αντάρτες Διγενήδες. /Σ.Τ. 4.2.85 ; The Digenides/Quickly, quickly, they set off the ten men/and with tanks, they beat back the Nazis./Like a rushing hurricane, like wild animals,/into the marble threshing floors, the Digenides./And what a fearsome battle! The enemy,/Crashing in front of such vehemence, buckles,/one victory but also grief, being/the bravest, the dead man grows old./They place booty and the dead on their shoulder/and they return to the mountains, victors,/with tears of grief and a song of joy,/the Digenides, the andartes of freedom.
