Tragedy in Volanta: 56-Year-Old Anastasia Returned from Germany Six Months Ago

Anastasia Nasiou, 56, one of the five workers who tragically lost their lives in the explosion at the Volanta biscuit factory, had recently returned to Greece from Germany, where she had lived since 1988. She had been working at the factory for six months, on a night shift, as she tried to complete the necessary insurance contributions for retirement. Her family, devastated by the tragedy, describes Anastasia as a beloved woman who wanted to return to her homeland and enjoy life with her family. She had three sons, and her husband had retired, joining her in Greece.
