The World We Live In: Children of the storm

Summary/Abstract: It is a little known fact that many of the houses and buildings left empty following the expulsion of the Sudeten Germans in the 1940s were later occupied by refugees fleeing the Greek Civil War. Back then the socialist state of Czechoslovakia took in thousands of Greek partisans and their families following the defeat of the communists in that country's bloody civil conflagration at the end of the 1940s. Most were to remain here until an amnesty was granted in the 1970s and thousands still live here today. The Chairwoman of the Greek Community in Prague, Tassula Zissaki-Healey, provides us with a fascinating overview of the experiences of these Greeks living in the Czech lands
