Greece, 1961… It’s just two days after the swearing-in of the new ERE (National Radical Union) government. The political climate is tense… After midnight on November 6th, a relentless downpour begins… lasting three hours! The poor neighborhoods of western and northwestern Attica are submerged under tons of water… 43 dead, hundreds injured, and thousands left homeless—the tragic toll.
Nikolas Angelidis delves into the events of the time, capturing the essence of the tragedy and presenting all the newspaper reports in a research-based retrospective, enriched with songs from that era.
