We, the descendants of those children say...

Does it really writes 28,000 Greek children or my eyes are lying me?? The majority of the children were not of Greek origin! Majority of those children and their descendants live now in Poland, Australia, Canada, ex Yugoslavia etc. and declare themselves as Macedonians. I heard their stories many times because my grandparents are one of them! They never said that were kidnapped by communists! I found it very disturbing to call them Greeks because they never felt Greeks! Children were forced to leave their homes because of Greek fascist regime... those children and we, descendants of them declare themselves only as Macedonians and not Greeks. We also speak dopika...from where did dopika come and how we learned it if not from our grandparents? Dopika is not a Greek language btw... This movie is a poor propaganda. Those people are alive, do not insult them with saying they are Greeks....
