Kalavryta Holocaust Museum, Holocaust memorial museum in Kalavryta, Greece.
The Kalavryta Holocaust Museum occupies the former primary school building where German forces gathered local women and children during World War II.
During Operation Kalavryta in December 1943, German occupation forces executed 696 male residents and destroyed the town in a mass retaliation action.
