Charoula Panagiotidou has kept some of the objects brought to Greece by her mother’s family: a set of six, hefty, silver-plated spoons and forks which have been used for years in her household and three intricate silver dessert spoons engraved with the initials ‘P. Th.’, standing for ‘Pinelopi’ and ‘Theofilos’, probably given to Charoula’s grandparents as wedding gifts. She still uses all these objects in her everyday life and shares their stories with her children and grandchildren in an effort to keep the history of her family alive and preserve the memory of the house, the village, and the life they left behind.
