- Abstract
At the end of the 1940s, a wave of many thousands of Greek refugees fled their country, which was torn by civil war, for Czechoslovakia. Around thirty years later, there was a political change in Greece that allowed the refugees to return to their homeland. In the meantime, however, a new generation of Greeks had grown up in Czechoslovakia who did not remember their parents' country and had never even visited. This article is situated within the theoretical framework of research on return migration. It traces the differences in the presentation of narratives on motivations to migrate back "home" of those who migrated. It also addresses the research field of transnationalism, and the author inquires into whether the narrators maintain any form of cross-border ties to the country from which they migrated.
