Homepage - Our People Their Stories.
Time, a relentless adversary of an individual’s memory, drags in its path, sometimes irreversibly, precious pieces of the mosaic of our collective history.
Given this irrefutable context, the idea was born to systematically and methodically record the personal stories of people of the Greek community in Australia, one of the largest and most active “cells” of the Greek Diaspora. The idea was carefully considered and formulated, and has taken shape through the present website, “Our People, Their Stories”.
The initiative is His Eminence’s Archbishop Makarios of Australia and has as its ultimate aim the preserving of the small and large treasures stored in the memory of our parents and grandparents; first and second-generation immigrants.
An important feature of the project is that it encourages the active participation of the younger members of the community in all the stages of the initiative.
It is the duty of all of us to steadfastly oppose oblivion and, in a race against time, to strive to save every precious story that outlines the journey of Hellenism in the Antipodes.
