The last stop of Zorbas's turbulent life was at Skopje. He settled there with his daughter, Katina, whose progeny are still alive. Zorba himself was living with Lyuba and being fortunate enough he got his own mine. But he collapsed when Hitler seized it. He died of sorrow and the hunger and hardship of the war in 1941. His tomb is located in the "Mundel" cemetery of Skopje. His descendants live today in Greece and Skopje.
