Yannis Beratis

Yannis Beratis, born in Athens on 28 December 1904, the son of an engineering officer who taught at the Evelpidon School, was employed at the National Bank from 1921 to 1930 and published his first book at the age of twenty-five. At the Ministry of the Press, he worked in the theatre and cinema censorship department. A volunteer in February 1941, he broadcast messages to enemy soldiers in Italian, through loudspeakers set up on the front line. In 1943 he joined Zervas's resistance in Epirus, was dismissed from the ministry as “disloyal” after the book that recounted it, and died in Athens in 1968.
