Greek-Australian professor of history Joy Damousi talks to Dina Gerolymou about her research on memory, trauma and identity in the Greek community. How did the experiences and the memories of WW 2, the Greek civil war and political persecution influence the identity of Greek migrants in Australia? To what extent did these experiences shaped the lives and sense of "Greekness" of the second and third generations? What was their impact on the collective memory of the community? Listen to this interview for the answers.
