- Abstract
The essay analyses the extensive reporting of media outlets on the Greek junta. The permanent coverage of surveillance, imprisonment and torture aimed to keep the attention of the public eye on the injustice perpetrated by the military. It will be shown that media as the Fourth Estate did not remain on a purely descriptive level, but was directed at specific audiences and intended to achieve specific effects on the German-Greek relations, which succeeded. The scope of the debate on the Greek military dictatorship included influencing social discourses like the debate on the Emergency Acts. Furthermore, it will be shown that historical memory construction of the student movement is incomplete, since the protest against the Greek dictatorship was a constituting element of the student movement. This essay therefore advocates for expanding the memory of protest in West Germany against injustice and atrocities by re-devoting attention to the case of Greece.
