The Hellenic American Union in cooperation with the War Museum of Greece and the Scientific Association “Greek Alumni of American Universities” is honoring the anniversary celebration of October 28, 1940, by organizing a screening tribute featuring first presentations of the documentaries “Athens of War, Occupation and Resistance” and “8th Division: The First Battle” produced by the War Museum Film Archive.
The documentaries consist only of period newsreels and films, with no additional subsequent footage.

Themes covered include the declaration of war, the occupation, the resistance, as well as the first battle fought by the 8th Division of the Greek Army on October 28, 1940, in defense of the “territories of the fatherland.”

The event will be prefaced by the President of the Hellenic American Union, Mr. Chris Spirou, and the Director of the War Museum Film Archive, Mr. Ioannis Korodimos.
