During the Greek civil war, the Greek Communists approached my family demanding their support. My family were not only large landowners, but also had a long military tradition. My mother’s uncle was a general in the army who fought the Germans until he was captured. Getting my family’s support would have been a huge feather in the Communists’ cap.

My family were staunchly anti-Communist and refused. In response, the Communists burned down the family home and kidnapped two young girls. They held them hostage in the mountains for a year, basically until the civil war ended.

Communists are evil, brutal animals and deserve no consideration or quarter in defeating them.
