Aristomenis Syngelakis, 43, poses for a photograph at the entrance of the Athens' Academy in Athens April 1, 2014. Syngelakis is one of the leaders of a campaign, backed by opposition parties, to make Berlin pay as much as 162 billion euros ($223 billion) for the hundreds of villages destroyed, thousands of civilians executed and huge sums looted from the Greek central bank by the Nazis in 1941-1944. But this campaign is about more than recovering money; it also aims to heal a deeply wounded national pride. Many Greeks feel the bailout financed by the European Union and International Monetary Fund is just the latest in a series of humiliations inflicted by foreign powers on their fiercely proud nation at the weakest moments of its modern history.
