Presentation by Panayiotis Diamadis

This illustrated lecture will explore the deep roots of the Australian Hellenic community in Sydney in the interwar period. Curator Anna Cossu will explore the Hellenic connection with Susannah Place, a working class museum in The Rocks that was home to the Sarantides and Passaris families. Dr Panayiotis Diamadis will examine the causes and course of early Hellenic migration to Australia and the growth of the Australian Hellenic community between the 1920s and the 1940s.
