Abstract

This collective monograph's chapter deals with the issue of children's homes on the territory of socialist Czechoslovakia in which children refugees of Greek civil war (1946-1949) were located. These institutions were established by Czechoslovak authorities in cooperation with Greek representatives.

Greek children were looked after in these institutions not only if their parents were not residing on the Czechoslovak territory, but even in some cases when they'd already arrived there. This publication strives to explain what impact the stay of Greek children in children's homes had on their future lives and how these institutions were organized.
