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. |
