Have you ever checked the Chronology and analyzed the effects of historical events on your family?
Some stories in family has been told like a fairy tale, but noone knows the reasons behind.

Here in this article, i tried to analyze the history and my family. Compared the told stories with chronology... The natural disasters, politcal decisions, wars that effected their lives...From 1880s to 1950s...

Dear Friends,

I continue with another video with old photographs and with the baptism video of mine from 80s:)

It's really a strange feeling to see ancestors alive, happy in an old video...

The Common Room / 1941 - The Twenty Classes, Turkey
« on: Tuesday 05 November 19 07:34 GMT (UK)  »
Have you ever heard about 'The Twenty Classes'?

1941 was a critical year during World War II, the Nazis occupied all Greece and they were very close to the borders of Turkey. Turkey was out of war but the government of that time had question marks about Nazis next action. So they decided to call the men back to army, to be prepared for the future. According to records; 12.000 non-muslim men between the ages 25-42 have been called. Of course Turkish men also called back to army, as we’ve heard many stories from other Turkish families. The history of 12.000 non-muslim men that called to army in 1941 is also known as ‘The Twenty Classes’.

My grandfather Hurmuzios Vafiadis was one of the soldiers during those days.

I would like to share with you his story, and the military days that my family had to survive in article below.
