Childhood Narratives of Greek Canadians from the 1940s

This project analyzes the life histories of Greek Canadians who were born in Greece during the mid to late 1920s and 1930s to document their experiences. “Childhood Narratives of Greek Canadians from the 1940s” aims to evaluate the effects of trauma and resilience through the events of the 1940s in Greece to critically reflect on memory eighty years later. The research contributes a transnational perspective to the historiography. It reveals how memories and ethnic identities can expand beyond borders to create a community of those who may share the same experiences, traumas, and identities.
