Scenes around Crete in 1961 (Part 2/2)



Uploaded by: JohnSooklaris
Video Description:
In 1961, a boat load of Cretans who lived in the U.S. converged upon New York City and took the Queen Frederika to Crete. There, they visited many sites in their motherland.
Anthony Sooklaris brilliantly shot and edited this very interesting video of the life and times of that event, but also a glimpse at what life was like in Crete in 1961. The effects of World War II are obvious in this movie. Many men and boys can be seen wearing German military caps. Perhaps
a source of pride that they stood up to their oppressors and lived to see the day that their homeland would once again be free, and that they could live in peace. Please leave me a comment and let me know how your life may relate to this video. Furthermore, if you have any information of the scene
s that we are seeing, please share it in a comment. Some of the towns and villages are documented in the form of signs, but let me know if you see and recognize landmarks, villages, people, etc. This is amazing video that begs to know more! From Teiher: This is the part of your visit to Lassithi.
At first you show us St. George Selinari, then I saw the central square in Neapolis and the the lake of Aghios Nikolaos with the small bridge. After that, I see some windmills that used to pump water on the Oropedio Lassithiou and then the entrance of the Gouverniotissa monastery as you were on your
way back to Heraklion.
