“Between the ninth and the thirteenth of January. Back then the only executions that had taken place were of the county prefect and two or three others. Random executions. In Háradros. Háradros is just below Hantákia. At the bottom of the Háradros River. But I don’t know exactly where. When we passed through there they told us, This is where that traitor the county prefect was executed. All this in the month of January. They arrested me in Eleohóri. I had left Kastrí. It was still the olive-gath...ering season. Másklina. That’s probably a Slavic place name. Then Másklina became Eleohóri. The detention camp was there before that. The detention camp where seven of the villagers were sent, the first ones. People who had nothing to do with political movements, simple folk, just poor unfortunate people. And they had no quarrel with anyone either. Most likely they took them to intimidate others. We have them here, we’re holding those people. Almost like hostages. Because they’d never been involved in the Resistance or in anti-Communist activities or with the Germans.MoreLess Read More Read Less
