Description : Cette photo est tirée du Volume 4 de 13 de rapports de visites faites par A. Lambert et Roth. Visite effectuée le 20 juin 1949 au camp des détenus mineurs de l'Ile de Makronissos. Le rapport précise dans la description général du camp : "Lors de la visite du 28 mai 1949 avec Mr.Traz, ce camp comptait 210 détenus de 14 à 20 ans. Lors de la visite du 20 juin l'effectif du camp était de 500 détenus de 14 à 20 ans." "Chef du camp : Colonel Soulis. Ce camp est actuellement en formation. Il s'agit de tous les enfants mineurs, condamnés pour des délits politiques, et qui sont enlevés des prisons pour être confiés au Colonel Baïractaris, qui a accepté de construire un camp de rééducation à l'intention de ces jeunes condamnés politiques. En attendant que ce nouveau camp soit construit, les jeunes délinquants vivent sous la tente, et se trouvent dans une ambiance infiniment meilleure à celle des prisons. Ce camp est destiné à recevoir environ 2000 jeunes prisonniers politiques qui sont ramenés des prisons ou du Centre pénitentiaire de Ghioura."

Makronisos, **Gyaros** , Leros – ‘communicating vessels’ of detention camps . . #### Project “infrastructural” . #### original size of the project: 8 sheets (90cmx120cm each) combined . #### Introduction . #### _The Graves of Our Ancestors_ _– We should guard our dead and their power, lest at some hour our opponents disinter them and take them away. And then, without their protection, we will be running a double risk. How will we live any more –_ _without our houses, our furniture, our fields, especially without the graves of our ancestors, the warriors and the wise? Let us remember –_ _how the Spartans stole the bones of Orestes from Tegéa. Our enemies –_ _must never know where we have them buried. But –_ _how will we ever know who our enemies are –_ _or when and from where they will appear? No, therefore, no grand monuments, –_ _no showy ornaments – such things araouse attention and malice. Our dead –_ _have no such needs – temperate, modest, and now silent, they are indifferent to the hydromels, the votive offerings, the vain honors. Better –_ _one bare stone and a pot of geraniums, a secret sign, –_ _or even nothing. To be more certain, we may hold them within us, if we can, –_ _and better still if even we don’t know where they lie. –_ _The way things are in our times – who knows – we ourselves may disenter them, one day we ourselves may throw them away._ **Yannis Ritsos** – March 20, 1968 – translated by Kimon Friar and Karelisa Hattigan . . Archbishop **Damaskinos** – British prime minister **Churchill** – Athens – photo, Hutchinson, January 1945 _“You are responsible for maintaining order in Athens… You may make any regulations you like for the strict control of the streets or for the rounding up of any truculent persons… It would be well of course if your command were reinforced by the authority of some Greek Government… Do not, however, hesitate to act as you were in a conquered city where a local rebellio is in progress… We have to hold and dominate Athens. It would be a great thing for you to succeed in this without bloodshed if possible, but also with bloodshed if necessary.”_ British prime minister W. Churchill, December 1944 . . #### .The Masterplan . .The project “infrastructural” is a reaction to the tragedy of the civil war of 1946-1949 and a contribution to a healing confrontation with the unbearable. Gyaros island of exile concerns everyones way of life consciously or unconsciously. Therefore we propose that The Museum gets realized under the auspicies of a ‘joint venture’, involving all ministries as the executive representants of the Greek people. Project “infrastructural” helps to balance and strengthen the ‘psychotope’ of the entire society to render it well worth living in it. . . _**The Path is The Goal** – _**project “infrastructural” is a non-judical, cognitive prosthesis to our ‘psychotope’ to help us work things out in our lifes.** #### ... . .

They have beeen moved from various prisons throughout the country. Most of them are skilled technicians and workers, and they receive fair wages, food, and appropriate clothing. It is estimated that the total number of inmates housed at the Jura facility, included those convicted of political offenses, general criminal offenses, and those serving drug-related sentences, will exced 10’000._ _The rising fortresses will be the largest in the Balkans, and the most perfect in terms of organization. They have been taken to model institutions of a similar destination operating in the United States. Based on the program approved by the Ministry of Justice, in addition to the main prisons, an extensive complex of buildings is being constructed, in which the prison staff, the administration, other support services, and a small hospital, with about 100 beds and scientific equipment, will be housed._ _In addition to the above, it also builds an electric power plant, as well as a factory for the production of various goods, and is fully equipped with roads, a port, and creates all the technical conditions for a complete agricultural exploitation of the island. The pace of the work is so fast that within just 165 days a road 24 kilometers long will be built._ _To execute the project, 2.12 billion drachmas have been allocated so far from the state budget.
