Greece - Nazi Sunset Golden Dawn - 54 min (17 February 2014)


Across Greece, villages that were destroyed by the Nazis and Greek
collaborators are voting to give Neo-Nazis power. Tracing the direct line
between Nazism and Golden Dawn, this film is a unique insight into the
party.

"Agony. Seeing the houses on fire from the windows", recalls a witness to
the 1943 massacre of Kalavrita. 700 men and teenage boys were executed.
There were only 13 male survivors.

"Things were so cloudy, so unstable that anything could have happened", is
how Alexandros Giosmos from Golden Dawn tries to explain away his father's
collaboration with the Nazis and alleged involvement in war crimes. Despite
his protestations, Greek collaborators like Giosmos's father were in fact
deeply involved in the Nazi desecration of Greece. In another massacre in
the region there were the same tales of shootings and everyone being burnt
alive, but this time it was different.

"The assassins were Greeks. I didn't see any Germans kill."

Despite members of Golden Dawn having such a strong connection to this
brutal legacy, in the locality of Kalavrita their support base is rising
from election to election. How is this possible?
