This documentary describes some of the horrors that the Greek people went through under German (National Socialist), Italian (Fascist) and Bulgarian rule, covering mainland Greece (specifically Athens), the islands of Syros, Cephalonia (Kefalonia) and Kalymnos, amongst others. Greece was occupied by the Axis powers in April 1941 and suffered terribly in the subsequent years, with their economy plundered, their people starved by famine (known as the 'Great Famine' or 'Μεγάλος Λιμός' in Greek), the Jews of Salonika shipped off to Auschwitz as part of the Holocaust, and their currency (the drachma) hyperinflated into oblivion. It's no wonder a resistance movement sprang up, and that Greece ended up in a Civil War that lasted (on and off) until 1949. This video was created in the hope that we can learn from history and prevent such a tragedy from happening again. Never forget.

ABOUT TIK 📝
History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.
This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
