Description:
Voices of the Lost Children of Greece is a collection of essays from Greek-born adoptees in the 1950s after two consecutive wars that ravaged the country. Their stories will strike home the experience of international adoption, whose impact has been lifelong, but has not been properly measured, let alone acknowledged.
Review Quotes:
""Voices of the Lost Children'' is a unique volume of essays. Not only are the personal stories of persons adopted as children in Greece in the 1950s profoundly moving and powerful but the cumulative effect of reading through the tears and laughter of their experiences and the need for international adoptions to be strictly regulated for the benefit of the children as well as the parents" --Alexander Kitroeff, Professor Emeritus of History, Haverford College, Pennsylvania.
