Overview: In October 1943, 25 years old Kostas Matheou was in charge of a team of resistance fighters in the mountains of Central Greece when the Germans encircled his position. Other resistance teams decided to break up into small groups and hide. Kostas decided to stand his ground.
That much was about all that was known by Kostas’s family who have lived in England for the past 50 years. “Caught up in Greek History” is a reconstruction by Kostas’s grandson, Alexander Matheou, of the brief life of his grandfather, building up to that decisive moment in the mountains. Based on letters, photographs, family memories and newspaper articles, Alexander weaves this family history into the dramatic events unfolding in Greece from the Asia Minor War to the Occupation: to produce a short, moving insight into how one family was caught up in and shaped by Greek history.
