Commemorating
the 50th anniversary of the Dekemvriana, the bloody events in and around
Athens in December 1944, triggers widely conflicting sentiments. On the one
hand, particularly for Greeks who suffered through those terrible clays or have
a strong emotional attachment to either side of the conflict, reviving painful
memories is not a welcome prospect. Rather than reexamining old wounds that
have barely healed, one might wish to simply consign to oblivion the events and
passions which caused Greeks to kill fellow Greeks and focus instead on the
process of reconciliation which the nation has fostered since the mid-1970s.
Indeed, nothing is more human than the desire to avoid having to relive a
horrifying past.[…]
