| An discussion of the impact of the holocaust of Arkadi on Greek, European and American public opinion immediately after the event, based on written documentation provided in French. This includes extracts from letters by the French Consul at Chania, who expresses the hope that the holocaust will encourage the local population and other Greeks and cause the Great Powers and world public opinion to take an interest in the Cretan Question. Extracts from articles in the Greek, Russian, French and British press are provided, demonstrating the positive attitude of the European public to the Cretan struggle. Finally, the views of eminent men such as Garibaldi and Victor Hugo are mentioned, together with the reaction of Cretan organisations in the US. |
