During the Greek Civil War tens of thousands of refugee children ages four to fourteen were rounded up and evacuated to Eastern Block countries (spring of 1948), because of the fear of the monarcho-fascistic Greek soldiers and of the bombardment of the mainly ethnic Macedonian villages in the North of the Greek state with napalm bombs.
Later they were not allowed to return. Greece prepared carefully worded laws to include Greek (by genus only) and exclude Macedonian children from returning.
