Σοσιαλιστικό και εθνικό ιδεώδες: η σοσιαλιστική εθνική διαπαιδαγώγηση μέσα από το παράδειγμα του "παιδομαζώματος"

Abstract

This article discusses the case of the Greek ‘Paidomazoma’ (the mass evacuation of Greek children to socialist countries and their education with Greek ‘national’ values in their host countries) in post-world war Eastern Europe. Examining the development of Greek national identity in Greek political refugees in those countries such as East Germany the author touches upon the issues of sosialist national education and that of the official historical definition of the terminus nation. He concludes that the cultivation of a socialist defined national identity has been far from a de- hellenizing experience.
