International Workshop Sixty Years After. Greek Civil War Refugees remember in the interviews of students of the Charles University in Prague
Abstract
International workshop Sixty Years After. Memory of Greek Civil War Refugees in Czechoslovakia, 1949-2009, which took place in October 2010 at the Charles University in Prague, examined the private strategies of about twelve thousand Greek Civil War refugees who arrived in Czechoslovakia in the late 1940s and still live in the region to this day.
This is a part of Modern Greek Diaspora which has been thus far largely overlooked. A team of Czech, Polish, and Greek (post) graduate students assisted by leading experts on oral history and Greek Civil War from the Czech Republic, as well as from Greece, collected and analyzed more than sixty testimonies of three generations of Greek and Slavo-Macedonian origin still living in the Czech Republic.
The project was supported from the German foundation "Remembrance, Responsibility and Future" (EVZ) as a part of the Geschichtswerkstatt Europa - Paths of Remembrance Program.
