“The letters we exchanged at the time may have been written by ink, but they were sealed with the tears of Xenitia (ξενιτιά).”

Honored to have my work on Greek-Canadian migration featured in Ergon.

"A Greek-Canadian archive is finally here, use it."

This was my message at the 3rd Annual Greek Canadian Studies Conference (May 9/10).

[HHF Greek Canadian Archives @hhfgca]

At the end of each interview for his project, ‘Childhood Memories of Greek Canadians from the 1940s,’ @Lask_angelo asks an important question to all participants: If you could describe the 1940s in one word, what would that be?

As countries across Europe were surrendering to Hitler’s Axis forces, in Athens at 3:00am on October 28, 1940, a representative of the Axis forces arrived at the Greek prime minister’s residence and demanded Greece’s surrender. The reply was “Alors, c’est la guerre” -war
