This is a video made by activists of the antifascist social center Distomo, which was inaugurated a month ago in Agios Pandeleimonas, a neighborhood in the center of Athens with a strong presence of migrants, and where there’ve been raids, assaults and murders committed by the fascists and nazis of Golden Dawn and the police. 
People coming from anarchist and antifascist experiences decided to open up an antifascist space, Distomo, in Ag. Panteleimonas. The name of the place is a homage to the dead of Distomou, massacred by nazi troops on 10th June 1944.  
Here is a testimony of the time: ‘In Distomo a massacre begun. Old people, women and school children (in the hall of the school) and a priest were indiscriminately murdered. Young women were found cut up with swords and knives from womb to chest.
Other women were found with their breasts cut, and with children in their arms. Children were also killed and their guts wrapped around their necks. The priest was beheaded, and his body thrown away from the head. The death toll was 296, without including the injured and the few survivors who lost their minds.’
