Images of political prisoners moments before Nazi executions in 1944 were about to be auctioned on eBay but were stopped by Greece due to public outrage.
The Greek culture ministry halted the sale of 12 photos showing the final moments of 200 Greeks before being executed by Nazis in 1944. The auction on eBay by a Belgian collector stirred outrage in Greece, leading to its cancellation. The photos are now being acquired by Greece and considered crucial evidence of a dark episode in the country's history.
