Dear Mother, Dear Brother, Dear Sister,

I am dying for a world which glows with such light, such beauty, that my sacrifice is nothing.

Take comfort in the thought that millions have died for this world, in thousands of battles, on the barricades and in war. Take comfort in the thought that I am dying for justice. Take comfort in the thought that our ideas will triumph in the end.

Anton

Dear Mother, Father and little sister,

We will be dying as men for our country. I'm not suffering and I don't want you to suffer either. I want no grief and tears. Be patient. I want you all to be happy, not sad because of me.

Farewell Greece, mother of heroes.

Lefteris 

Papa!

They are taking me to Kessariani to be executed with seven other prisoners Ich bitte Dich, verständige ihre Familien. Please try to let their families know. Don't be sad. I am dying for freedom and for our country.

Andreas 

My dearest Father,

In two hours they are going to hang me in the square because I'm a patriot. Nothing more can be done about it. Don't be bitter, Father, this is the way it was destined to be. I'm not dying alone. I shall be waiting for you and the day you arrive will be a day of great festivity.

Kostas - I was destined to die in April.

My dear parents, 

If all the heavens were paper and all the seas of the world were ink, I could not describe to my suffering to you and all that I see around me. The day before yesterday two boys escaped so they lined us up and shot every fifth person in the row. I wasn't the fifth but I know I won't get out of here alive. I bid farewell to you all, and I am crying ...

Chaim

Farewell mother,

your daughter Lyubka is going now, down into the humid earth.

Dear Sisters and Brothers, 

The doors are opening. There are our murderers. Dressed in black. They are wearing white gloves on their filthy hands. They are driving us out of the synagogue in pairs. How hard it is to part forever from this beautiful life. You who live on should never forget our innocent little Jewish street. Sisters and brothers, avenge us on our murderers.

Esther

Dear Uncle,

I have no fear of death. I'm only sorry to have lived such a short life and to have done so little for my country. Uncle, I've grown accustomed to prison now, I'm not alone, there are many of us. Uncle, that's why I'm not afraid of death. Tell mother to hide the money or else the Germans will steal it.

Farewell, Your niece Irina

I know for certain that in a few hours I will no longer exist, but you can rest assured that I shall face the firing squad calm and composed, just as I am now, as I was during the two-day show trial, as I was when the sentence was announced, because I knew from the start of that so-called trial that it would end in a death sentence.

Are those who condemned us just as calm? I'm sure they're not!

Eusebio

My dear comrade,

I've been allowed to say goodbye to you, a chance that, sadly, most people aren't given.  I know that if it were in your power, you would relieve me of the heaviest burden. But everyone must stand up and answer for their own actions. Always be to the children what you were to me: a comrade. I have hope in life as I go to my death. I go believing in a better life for you all.

Elli
