This image captures an informational display panel, likely from a museum exhibition in Athens, Greece, presented in a portrait orientation but photographed rotated 90 degrees clockwise. The panel features a dark background with light-colored text and black-and-white imagery. The main subject is David Broudo, whose story is told through text and visuals. On the upper left, there's a black-and-white graphic illustration of a man wearing glasses, depicted from the chest up, looking slightly downwards. Above this illustration, a prominent quote in both Greek and English reads: "MY COUSIN WAS KILLED IN THE FOREST IN FRONT OF ME, HE COULD NO LONGER WORK... HE WAS 19 YEARS OLD LIKE ME." This quote immediately conveys a sense of personal loss and trauma. Below the illustration and quote, there's a black-and-white photograph depicting five men in military-style attire, likely partisans, standing together outdoors. This photo serves as an illustration for a caption that identifies "David Broudo (right) with ELAS partisans during the liberation of Thiva, October 1944." The text further describes Broudo's role in supplying the ELAS (Greek People's Liberation Army) with food and weapons from Arachova to Athens. The central part of the panel prominently displays "ΔΑΒΙΔ ΜΠΡΟΥΔΟ DAVID BROUDO" along with his birth and death years (1924-2012) and a reference to his time in Karya from April to June 1943. The largest block of text, presented in both Greek and English, details David Broudo's biography. It recounts his childhood in a Jewish working-class quarter of Thessaloniki, his survival during the winter famine of 1941-42 by stealing food, his work in a camp kitchen in Karya, his escape in 1943 to join the ELAS partisans, his death sentence during the civil war (not carried out), and the revocation of his Greek citizenship in 1955 followed by deportation to Israel. It highlights that only he and his brothers Michael and Samuel survived from a large family. At the very bottom, "Συνέντευξη, 1995 Interview, 1995" is visible, indicating the source or a related archival piece. The panel effectively uses visual and textual elements to present a poignant historical narrative.
