Silken threads interwoven in the war crimes of the German "Wehrmacht" in Crete

Exhibition in the Stoa Makazi, in the old Venetian City Walls with an original handkerchief. It was made of a parachute, which was used by German paratroopers invading Crete in May 1941, found in Heraklion Area. The 18 minutes long video shows excerpts of interviews with Cretan time witnesses. They share their memories from May 1941 until 1944. Through remembering their textile handcraft processes the old women describe the war crimes of the German Wehrmacht and their impact on the everyday life in the villages. They are also original documents and their Greek and English translations from 1938 – 1943. They document how the National Socialists organized and promoted silk production in Germany. In the last part of the exhibition you can find a piece of silk – feel free to explore the qualities of this fabric.
