Nikos Vournazos’ New Book: “Emigrants, The Ones That Build Foreign Lands”

At the age of 84, famous Melbourne Greek Nikos Vournazos recalls the stories of Greeks who left the motherland with “fake” hopes and fake documents.
His new book titled “Emigrants, The Ones That Build Foreign Lands” is already available in Greece. It describes his personal memories from the Italian and German Occupation in Greece, the Civil War, followed by the immigration wave.
Vournazos who has been a member of ELAS, the Greek Liberation Army, recalled many interesting and unexpected facts from those times and on his own immigration to Australia. His life there and the lives of other Greek emigrants are illustrated in a direct and honest way, without any effort to idealise the situation.
The writer was born in 1924 in a small village of Achaia and served the ELAS until 1945. Ten years later he left Greece for Australia and became an active member of the Greek community there.
In 1987 he was awarded for his service at the Liberation Army.  In 2002 he gained a literature degree from the University of New England in Australia at the age of 78!  He has previously written three books.
