You don 't know them.
They killed my little baby in the crib.
- Who ? - Ottomans.
My husband is today in Smirna because of them.
Vasili was a farmer before.
I met him when I was visiting my cousins in Selanik.

But I loved him.
I left the mansion in Athens, where I was living in,
and I went in a village from Selanik. In Vasili 's village.
When I took our first child in my arms,
I was the happiest woman in this wide world.
Then, one day, came in our town the Greek rebels.

Everything happened in one night.
