Abstract	ChatGPT Here's the revised version: A photographic archive and postcard belonging to the T. Pappatheodorou family, often signing as "Pappas." The material includes small photographs from Greece, depicting landmarks such as the Athos monastery, Serres, and the White Tower of Thessaloniki. On the back of some photographs, there are descriptions of the atrocities of the Ottoman Empire that took place there. Due to the "countless victims of Ottoman torturers and executioners," the tower acquired the name "Tower of Blood." The Pappatheodorou family appears to be well-cultured and well-traveled, and descriptions on the back of the photos match important historical events. The writing style of the postcard and the general presence of the family suggest that they were a well-established family. The photos and descriptions seem to match the years 1920-1930.
