The Truth About the Cold War Greek Adoptions

On April 18, 2024, the Eftychia Project was honored to do an online presentation for the Hellenic Society of Maine, entitled "The Truth About the Cold War Greek Adoptions". The presentation shed light on this tragic page of Greek history that has been swept under the rug for decades - the questionable and sometimes illegal adoptions of some 4000 Greek children abroad in the 1950's and 1960's. Attendees watched two documentaries prior, including the powerful award-winning film "The Orphans From Greece", prior to the presentation. 

A big thank-you to Irwin Novak and Mary Snell for inviting us to present and giving us a platform that enables the hidden story of our adoptions to be dessiminated to a wider audience.
