Síntesis del Episodio

Radio Documentarist Thomas Sideris presents the shocking narrative of Pontius refugee Yiannis Anastasiadis, which is a retention for the present and future generations. His novel life from «?????????», a village near Samsun, to Livadohori, Serres (Northern Greece). His torturing course to the unknown and his wandering in space and time. The Anastasiades family will abandon its ancestral home in the early 1920s. The father is already in the "neglebubarlar", the compulsory labor battles. The mother with her four children, Victoria, Cerekia, Isaac and Yannis will wander within the collapsing Ottoman Empire for many months and end up in Aleppo, Syria. Isaac, however, will stay close to a Kurdish family. Returning to Greece for the Anastasiades family will not be easy at all. For some of its members, the dream of escaping from the bitter fate of refugee will be covered forever in the dust of Anatolia.
