This private museum belongs to Georgios Hatzidakis who met the suffering of the German Occupation.

After the war , he started , with passion , to collect every vestige of the battle to succeed as characteristically told himself to keep alive the glorious memory of our ancestors and to stimulate younger to deal with their history.

The collection currently lists over 2000 items for the period 1940-44 and continues to grow ever thanks to the persistent and admirable efforts of his son, Andrew G. Hatzidakis, who eventually hopes to find a way to accommodate and create a war museum worthy of their history.

George A. Chatzidakis, a child who saw the light of life in a village of Sfakia (Askifou) on December 12, 1931 and died defeated by the disease on 12 December 2007.

A few years after his birth, the German invasion on the island became a reality.

The eyes of a ten years boy saw the savage face of war in wake of scattered ruins, suffering and death.
