Series: The unknown story behind a photograph
At dawn on 21 April 1967, thousands of citizens labelled “dangerous” by the coup leaders were arrested and sent into exile. Many left behind families — roots, bonds, children. But what happened to the children of those exiled or imprisoned during the dictatorship? A single family photograph, taken on Samothrace in 1971, holds part of the answer.

Istorima is the largest oral history project in Greece. Over 1,000 young researchers seek out storytellers across the country, listening to and preserving memories: stories of love, of place, of change—moments that shaped lives and identities. These are the untold stories that history books leave behind. The initiative was created by journalist Sofia Papaioannou.
