Our Story
The Panepirotic Federation of America was founded in Worcester in 1942 by Greek immigrants from the region of Epirus. This organization was established to improve the economic situation and quality of life for the people of Epirus and to protect the human rights of ethnic Greeks living in Southern Albania. Following the communist takeover of Albania after World War II, the traditions of the ethnic Greek minority were criminalized, leading to the persecution of tens of thousands of Epirotan Greeks. The Federation has been dedicated to advocating for the rights of this community, especially after the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe.
