The year was 1920 and the Great War was over, yet the devastated people in Europe were still struggling to get their lives back to normal again including the Greeks. One of those Greek hapless people was a scoundrel who took advantage of everyone he met. His name was George Hurrasakis, and his avarice for money was unbelievable. He married Christina Christodulos, an attractive, young Greek girl for her dowry and then immigrated to the United States where his evil, ne’er-do-well ways, had a horrible effect on two families: One, a black lawyer’s family that lived in Roanoke, Virginia, and another, which concerned a Jew who had emigrated to the U.S. from Germany and made his home in Roanoke as well. Nevertheless, as Fate would have it, he paid for his greed and for the intolerable way he treated people.
