The events of WWII forced many Lithuanians to flee their country. Unable to return, over 10,000 came to Australia. This is their history. We respect and honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past, present and future. We acknowledge the stories, traditions and living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on this land and commit to building a brighter future together.
Hostel stories
Many Lithuanians who came to Adelaide resided in hostels while they worked their contract for the government. The University of Adelaide and the Migration Museum are seeking stories on workers and residents who lived in hostels. Throughout History month in May they will be holding session so you can share your stories and to contribute to a research project.
Here are the details for the Woodside migrant talk.
