Πώς ο Ελληνοεβραίος πατέρας μου και η Πολωνοεβραία μητέρα μου γνωρίστηκαν στο Άουσβιτς και επέζησαν

Σε περασμένες δεκαετίες στην παροικία μας, ιδίως σε αυτή του Σύδνεϋ, δραστηριοποιούνταν και έρχονταν σε ομογενειακές εκδηλώσεις, ένας Ελληνοεβραίος, ονόματι Αλμπέρτο Γιακοέλ. In past decades in our community, especially in Sydney, a Greek Jew named Alberto Yacoel was active and was attending community events. When it came to introducing himself in Greek, he did so by the name Alekos. Alberto Yacoel had served in the Greek army, then fought on the Albanian front and during the German occupation took part in the National Resistance. He was captured by the Germans and was one of the few survivors of the Holocaust. He later emigrated to Australia, maintaining close contacts with the local Greek community. Alberto Yacoel's daughter, Nina Angelo, was born in Athens in 1947. Recently she published a book titled "Don't Cry, Dance. The book is described as a Holocaust survival story in Auschwitz. It was there that her Greek-Jewish father and her Polish-Jewish mother had met. The family emigrated to Australia in 1949. Nia Angelo unravelled the tangle of her family history in a lengthy interview with our programme, SBS Greek.
