Kommeno is a village of Epirus located in the prefecture of Arta and is the site where in August 1943 contributed one of the largest massacres of civilians in the history of the German occupation in Greece.

According to eyewitness Stefanos Pappas, the motorized unit of Nazi troops from Filippiada, commanded by the Ioannina Command, invaded the village of Kommeno of Arta in the afternoons of 16 August 1943, under the guise of retaliation for the presence of ELAS rebels and Edes in the area.

The village slept quietly after a wedding celebrated the day before. The German Nazis set up machine guns at the entrances of the village, invaded the houses, and killed everyone and in the end they set fire and burned them.

Few have escaped by boats to the Amvrakikos Gulf. At the end of the massacre, the Nazi soldiers sat in the village square where they ate and drank beers leaving empty cans next to 7 corpses.

In total, the dead of slaughter were 317 people. 440 people were rescued. The slaughter of Kommeno Arta is equivalent to that of Kalavrita and Distomo.
