The Palikari Project: Part II – Occupation & Communists | In occupied Greece during WWII, life for families was tough enough with a ruling foreign force of fascists & Nazis controlling everyday life but the real danger was the communists from within and their campaign of violence & fear. This is the story of Spyros John Kass and the turbulent life in is his small farm village after the Nazis and before the Greek Civil War against the communists. This is the story of a family’s fearful existence devoid of song & dance, but also the story of a community surviving & individuals being brave in the face death and the small joy Truman the Mule brought them. This is The Palikari Project.

About The Palikari Project: Thirty-five years ago in Oak Lawn, John Kass & his brother Nicholas set a card table with coffee, cigarettes, & a tap recorder, hoping to capture their family’s story from a primary source, their father, Spyros John Kass. The tapes were part of an art project John’s wife Betty put together, a ballet. But the tapes were thought lost and the voice of the Kass patriarch with them after his death in 1992.
