#PeoplesHistory | Today, we remember the Greek revolutionary musician and Marxist anti-establishment rebel, Mikis Theodorakis.
Theodorakis used his actions and his music against oppression, especially against the CIA-backed Greek military dictatorship, for which his songs were banned and he was imprisoned and forced into exile.
For his music and revolutionary commitment, Theodorakis was nominated and granted several awards including the Lenin Peace Prize. He was an MP for the Greek Communist Party (KKE) and had a lifelong commitment to political activism.
His Mauthausen Trilogy has been described as the "most beautiful musical work ever written about the Holocaust."
