A Macedonian-Canadian documentary by the Association of the Refugee Children from the Aegean Macedonia -
During the Greek Civil War tens of thousands of refugee children ages four to fourteen were rounded up and evacuated to Eastern Block countries in spring of 1948 (28,000 ethnic Macedonian and 10,000 ethnic Greek children)- because fearing the monarcho-fascistic Greek soldiers and the bombardment of the mainly ethnic Macedonian villages in the North of the Greek state with napalm bombs.
Later they were not allowed to return. Greece prepared carefully worded laws to include Greek (by genus only) and exclude Macedonian children from returning.
