Introduction / History
Greeks came to what is now Czechia soon after WWII when they were exiled from Greece for siding with the communists who threatened to take their country. Czechoslovakia had already been taken by the Soviet army, so it was a safe haven for communist Greeks. These communist Greeks had little or no contact with their home country until 1974.
