Volos Food Relief Effort: The Orlando Plan

In the spring of 1946, a bare year after the end of World War Two in Europe, a Greek American living in Florida received a shocking letter from his brothers still living in Greece. John Camichos, restaurant owner, was horrified to learn of the conditions in his hometown of Volos, in Northeastern Greece. Letters received from his brothers George and Stavros Camichos, in early April 1946, described severe conditions in the city. Money was worthless, and food was badly needed. Italian and German troops had wrecked the waterfront installations around the bay, leaving boats stranded in the harbor, and the Nazis had prohibited small boats from launching off the beaches. George also wrote of the devastation left in the farming area of Volos by both the Italians, and Germans who killed livestock, burned crops, and destroyed roads. Upon reading these letters John Camichos feared villagers of Volos would die from starvation...

In the above excerpt from Chapter 3 The Orlando Plan and HEPA: Post-War Relief, Lisa Camichos, the granddaughter of John Camichos, begins the details of Orlando's effort to save 60,000 villagers in Volos, Greece from starvation by a community food drive.

Lisa Camichos, the granddaughter of John Camichos, discusses Greek War Relief in Chapter 2 of Non-Governmental Relief to Greece: 1940-1949. A Comparative Study With The Truman Doctrine by Lisa Catherine Camichos. VIEW.

Excerpt:

Within the written history of World War II famine in Greece is an overlooked tragedy in WWII. The sufferings endured by the Greek people at the hands of the Nazis are beyond the bounds of the imagination of those untouched by famine and death. Also within the history of WWII is a chapter of unprecedented kindness and concern. For even before the U.S. entered the war, and before the truth about the Nazi concentration camps reached American shores, a group of Greek-Americans, and Greek ex-patriots joined together to relieve the suffering of those trapped in Nazi occupied Greece...
