DEDICATED TO MY GREEK MOTHER AND HER FATHER- COL. THEODORE STRATOUDAKI
The producer of this video is the grandson of Greek Army Colonel Theodore Stratoudaki who fell in Battle at Chania May 28,1941. His oldest daughter was my mother, Dr. Despina S. White who was not yet 15 years old at the time of her father's death, leaving her in charge of care for her younger sister Evdokia. Both young ladies endured the hardship of the four year Nazi occupation of their island with the help of their kindly Uncle A.Marakis.
The original song in this video is inspired by the stories my mother told me and the memory of the Grandfather I did not get to meet.- THEODORE WHITE HONOLULU, MAY 2024
