Jewish service to Australian Hellenism
The centenary of the Consulate-General of the Hellenic Republic (Greece) in Sydney was marked with a series of events in May and June this year. Amongst these events was the publication of a history of the Consulate-General since the first Honorary Consul was appointed in 1891. Few know about this unbroken diplomatic presence. Fewer still know about the Jewish dimensions of this rich history.
Spartans and Anzacs at The Shrine of Remembrance, Melbourne
A few steps from the heart of Victoria’s Anzac commemorative space, the Sanctuary and the Crypt beneath it, Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance has assembled an amazing collection of original artefacts, text panels, archival footage and digital recreations to seamlessly showcase the historic battles of Thermopylae – 480BCE and 1941.
A century of the Consulate-General of the Hellenic Republic in Sydney
Opened in 1926, the Consulate-General of the Hellenic state in Sydney is the oldest Hellenic diplomatic mission in Australia. Its unbroken presence in New South Wales now enters its second century of service. When the first Hellenic Honorary Consuls in Australia were appointed in the late-1800s, the country already hosted about 20 such representatives.
Anzac bread! - Neos Kosmos
Writing in his memoir ‘The world is my parish’, American congregationalist minister Loyal Lincoln Wirt, described his feelings as he escorted a shipment of Australian flour ‘passed tragic Gallipoli, where many brave Anzacs from Australia and New Zealand had laid down their young lives, face to the foe’.
Hypocrisy and reality in Australian foreign policy
While it may be the reality that selective government sanctions on companies and individuals are of limited value in the real world, they serve as powerful symbols. They state that the Australian government is involved in the world around it, in support of shared values such as democracy and human rights. The hypocrisy lies in the way Canberra determines which corporations and which individuals are to be sanctioned.
Jewish and Greek communities unite in remembrance at Sydney Jewish Museum
By Panayiotis Diamadis 80 years after the final phase of the Holocaust in Greece, the Jewish and Hellenic communities gathered at the Sydney Jewish Museum on Tuesday, July 23 to remember those so unjustly lost.

We are not ‘leftovers of the sword’
By Dr Panayiotis Diamadis, Genocide scholar As a people who have endured genocide, pogroms and other forms of persecution, Australian Hellenes cannot stand by and watch another people with similar experiences stand alone. We must follow the examples of Athens and Leukosia in supporting the right of the State of Israel to exist while offering humanitarian aid to people in need in Gaza and elsewhere.
Genocide Recognition: an Australian story
May it appears is the month of genocide recognition amongst the Australian parliaments, with Tasmania being the latest one to adopt a resolution of recognition of the Genocides of the Hellenes, Armenians and Assyrians on Thursday 11 May. One factor that deserves special comment is why did Tasmania’s parliamentarians adopt this Resolution? The Parliament of New South Wales adopted its Resolution in May 2013.
Artsakh and Cyprus: weaponised blockades
Azerbaijan’s illegal and unethical closure of the Lachin Corridor, the only road connecting Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) to the outside world has now entered its first month. The blockade is complete: no-one and nothing is permitted to enter or exit the Armenian-populated enclave in the South Caucasus.
Centenary of Major George Devine Treloar’s mission saving Greek refugees from Asia Minor
By Dr Panayiotis Diamadis. Throughout 2022, Hellenism around the world has been marking the Centenary of the holocaust of Smyrne, the single most violent episode in the decade-long Genocides of the Hellenes, Armenians and Assyrians by the Ottoman Empire and its successor, the Republic of Turkey between 1914 and 1924. A bright light in the darkness of those days was the relief mission of the League of Nations, led by Dr Fridjtof Nansen and his Commissioner in northern Hellas, George Devine Treloar.

‘The Ottoman Lieutenant’: Another Denialist ‘Water Diviner’
On the eve of the First World War, approximately 170 American missionaries—many of them women—were scattered among the Armenian communities in the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire.[1] By early 1915, the imperial government had imposed strict censorship on correspondence from the eastern provinces. As the deportations and massacres of Armenians began in April 1915, American missionaries were warned by Ottoman authorities against reporting on local conditions.
