EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the joyous atmosphere on Constitution Square in Athens, Greece, during World War II. Taken by an English photographer in October 1944, the image showcases crowds of jubilant Athenians celebrating their liberation by British troops. The streets are filled with exuberant people waving Greek and British flags, their faces beaming with relief and happiness. The scene is a testament to the resilience and strength of the Greek people who endured years of occupation before finally experiencing freedom once again. The print is part of a private collection and was featured in "The Second Great War, A Standard History" published in London around 1946. It serves as a powerful illustration of the historic moment when Athens erupted into festivities to mark its newfound liberation. In this snapshot from history, we witness not only the end of oppression but also the unity between Greece and Britain during this tumultuous time. The image encapsulates both gratitude towards British forces for their role in liberating Athens and pride among Greeks for reclaiming their city. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from over seven decades ago, it reminds us of the indomitable spirit that can emerge even amidst great adversity.
