It was my pleasure to have delivered this year's annual Alex Kondos Memorial Lecture at Brisbane's Greek Club. The lecture is held each year by the Greek Orthodox Community of St George Brisbane to honour the memory of Dr. Alex Kondos a Councillor of the Community.
The story of the Hellenic connection to Australia just gets deeper. Next month will see the Imvrians' Society of Melbourne launch a new exhibition telling the amazing story of their Island was involved in the Gallipoli campaign and the Anzacs.
Dr. Leon Saltiel, a Thessaloniki-born historian and expert on the Holocaust in Greece, presented at Melbourne's Holocaust Museum on April 24. He discussed his award-winning books, "The Holocaust in: Reactions to the Anti-Jewish Persecution, 1942–1943," and "Do Not Forget Me: Three Jewish Mothers Write to their Sons from the Thessaloniki Ghetto."
