One might consider that our “little stories”—recalled during family gatherings—often illustrate only the anecdotal side of events, the sort of historical details too hastily dismissed as secondary. In our family, our late uncle Chrístos loved to share his anecdotes from the 1940s: the Greco-Italian War, the Occupation, the Resistance, and—subsequently—the utter, profound illogic of the Greek Civil War (1944-1949). He would recount these events down to the finest detail—details that were, first and foremost, his own personal history. He would also readily share his accounts regarding the presence of Italian soldiers in Greece—a subject whose historical reality, winding through the twists and turns of time, remains to this day caught somewhere between memory and oblivion.
