My Blog: Streets of Athens

My interview by Black-White-Club
*****************************************************

Browsing today's Daily Deviations I saw in my amazement my "Pride and Shame" picture featured!
It's not a "popular" photograph, or a stunning "piece of art" but it sure has a deep meaning for me and for all the greek people.
(and I bet for people from many other nations too!)

"Pride and Shame"

Artist's comment:
"Members of the Greek Resistance against the Axis, parading locally during our National Holiday.
(Yesterday, 25th of March we celebrated the official beginning of the uprising and revolution in 1821 against 368 years ruthless occupation by the Ottoman empire, which finally led to the liberation of the country.)

The banners read:

"I was imprisoned by the fascists to set free the dreams of our youth.
Who gives you the right, today, to imprison ther lives?"

"I was sentenced to death twice, so our youth could live two times better than I did. Who gives you the right to deprive our youth from all their rights?"

"I fought so the children of Greece live a better life.
Why do you condemn them to unemployment?"

Greece is facing a devastating financial crisis recently.
And it's DEFINITELY NOT ONLY the Greek people who are responsible for that!

Who is??? ---> www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9JsRY… as the media never show it all!"

A huge THANK YOU to FioReLLo for suggesting this picture and to evanhwong for featuring it!
