GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH
RESISTANCE TO NAZI OCCUPATION
HELP NEEDED
Having changed my mind about carrying on with my book on Orthodox martyrs of the twentieth century, the work is nearly complete. My general
procedure in the book is to write a general introduction to a section, followed
by a few examples of particular people who were martyred for their faith. One
of the chapters is devoted to the Orthodox Church in Greece under Nazi
occupation. I think I have enough material for the general background,
certainly including the courageous stand of Archbishop Damaskinos and others in
protecting Jews from deportation. However, I am in urgent need of a few stories
of priests or Orthodox laypeople who gave their lives because their Christian
beliefs led them to defiance of the authorities. I am sure there are plenty of
stories but, ironically since I live in Greece, I have not been able to find
any detailed information.
What I am looking for are
any of the following:
a)
Actual
information: brief stories, either from other sources or from personal
knowledge. Even family memories would be good as they add reality.
b)
Access to
somebody else who could help.
c)
Useful internet
links.
If anyone is able to help
me, I would be eternally grateful. Please post a comment or send a message to
my FaceBook page: Chris Moorey Books.
By the way, since I am
self-publishing the book (initially on Kindle), in the not too distant future I
will be needing a few hardy volunteers to proofread the manuscript and/or write
brief reviews. Any volunteers?
