{"id":293,"count":8,"description":"Written by Ada Kapola &amp; Aggeliki Christodoulou\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\nIoulia Bimpa, born in Samos in 1910, is an important figure of the Greek resistance during the German occupation. She joined the Panhellenic Union of Aggressive Youth (PEAN) in 1942, where she was involved in the illegal press and proclamations. She played a decisive role in the blowing up of the offices of the National Socialist Patriotic Organization (ESPO) in September 1942, an initiative that constitutes the best-known resistance action of that organization. After this action, the Nazi organisation was never reconstituted. Stolen explosives were kept in her house and she helped to construct bombs for sabotage operations. Although she faced torture and interrogation during her arrest in November 1942, Bimpa remained unmoved. Sentenced to death by the German Military Court, she showed unwavering determination and courage, as shown in her last letters. She was executed in Vienna in February 1943 at the age of 32.","link":"https:\/\/aski.gr\/wire\/exhibition\/bimpa\/","name":"Ioulia Bimpa (1910-1943)","slug":"bimpa","taxonomy":"exhibition","meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aski.gr\/wire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aski.gr\/wire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aski.gr\/wire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/exhibition"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/aski.gr\/wire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/panel?exhibition=293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
