PAIDOMAZOMA: The 28,000 Abducted Greek Children

PAIDOMAZOMA: The 28,000 Abducted Greek Children

Paidomazoma is a true and emotional story about the 28,000 Greek children who were abducted by the Greek Communist rebels during the Greek Civil War from 1946 to 1949 and were scattered behind the Iron Curtain. It is the devastating story of a twelve-year- old abducted girl, Dora, and her struggles, horror, and loneliness in Yugoslavia. Her fate was to spend thirty-three years behind the Iron Curtain, away from her widowed mother, who lived in Greece. Dora's life encompasses the sufferings of the thousands of Greek-abducted children who lived as refugees in an unknown world of starvation and deprivation dipped into Communism.

The story is heartbreaking-but uplifting. It is one of triumph and tragedy. It follows a young, innocent girl through the depths of hell behind the Iron Curtain and sees her out the other side, returning to Greece in her late sixties.
