In its announcement, the Piraeus Labor Center notes:
“On May 1, 2024, it will be 80 years since the execution of the 200 resistance fighters at the Kaisariani shooting range by the German Nazi conquerors.
The execution of the 200 communists, most of whom were members of the trade union movement, illuminate the path of struggle that our class must take, against exploitation and wars.
Honoring their sacrifice, the Labor Centers of Athens and Piraeus, with the support of SEGAS, are organizing a road race of memory, honor and continuation of the struggle, called “For the 200 executed in Kaisariani” for the rights of the working class.
The route from the Haidari Camp – BLOCK 15 to the Kaisariani Shooting Range is 14 kilometers long and follows the usual route chosen by German trucks to transport the dying fighters who were kept during the occupation in the concentration camp in Haidari and executed at the Shooting Range Caesariani.
On the route from Haidari to Kaisariani, the dying leave notes on the road for their own people, their loved ones, their mother, their brothers, their partners, their competitors. Passers-by played the postman. They took them and took them where they needed to go.
We will convey their message again today 80 years later by keeping alive the sacrifice of the participants in this road race in the footsteps of history.
The labor-popular street race will take place on Sunday, April 28 at 8 am. with the starting point the building of the future dead BLOCK-15 inside the “KARAISKAKI A” Camp of Haidari and ending, at the place of executions, at the Kaisariani Shooting Range.
We invite all the unions of Attica, the workers and the youth of our region, sports and other mass organizations, to take part en masse in the labor-popular street struggle, honoring the workers’ day, the sacrifice of the 200 heroes of our class”.
