  10. The first one to write about the battle of Karalaka was a Jewish partisan who was wounded in the ambush. It was published anonymously by the “Israelitiko Vima” No. 25, May 17, 1946. Five Jewish families from Larissa were captured by a German SS Battalion near Mt. Olympus. Three Jewish men attempted to escape and they were killed. The fourth was successful and he informed the nearby battalion of ELAS, which ambushed the Germans, killing 242 men and liberating the Jews. There were 11 partisans dead and 10 wounded. Albert Levi of New York read about.the battle in my book. He made a special trip to Greece and found the location where a monument was erected. He sent me a photo of it. The names of the 11 partisans and the 3 Greek Jews are carved on the marble in alphabetical order.
