| One of the last things refugee
Stojan Trpchevski, 79 does before leaving after his two day visit is to
climb onto one of the hills that surround Setina. Quietly he surveys the
village from above. Stojan left in 1944 when he was 16 years old, he was
working in the fields away from home, when they heard that the police
were investigating and looking for young men. Stojan decided to go to
Macedonia where he joined Tito's partisans and later he returned to Greece
as a soldier in the Democratic Army. But he never returned to the village,
although he did pass it on the hills as a soldier, and could look at it
from afar just as he does now on the hill. |
