The original printed caption identifies the camp as housing the Greek government's "hard core" Communist political prisoners among approximately 15,000 political exiles living in tents and makeshift shelters following mass arrests during the Greek Civil War. The caption notes the camp was located near San Kirikos on Ikaria, about 175 miles east of Athens near the Turkish mainland.
