My playmates were Italian prisoners of war
Join us on Sunday 17 May to hear poignant stories of Italian prisoners of war interned on Queensland farms during World War II. Many farming children of the 1940s thought that it was ‘normal’ to have Italian prisoners of war living on the farm, but the placement of Italian prisoners of war was an unconventional solution to the dire shortage of farm labour experienced in rural industries. This is a rich and unique history; a time when unguarded prisoners of war lived and worked in nine Queensland rural districts. This is a history which offers fascinating insights into life on the ‘home front’ during World War II; a time when prisoners of war taught children how to twirl spaghetti with a fork and spoon, sang lullabies to babies and made a little girl her first ‘new’ shoes. Come on a journey of discovery and meet some of the farmers, children and Italians who are part of this story. This talk will be presented by special guest speaker Joanne Tapiolas who is an independent researcher and author, a history teacher and high school Deputy Principal, a family historian and business owner. The granddaughter of Spanish and Italian migrants, she has an intimate understanding of displacement, prejudice and living in an unfamiliar world. Her passion for family history and insight into social history has inspired Australians and Italians from around the world, to become part of her projects and share their stories. After the talk, visitors can stay to explore the Memorial Galleries, embarking on an interactive journey from the First World War to today, before taking time to reflect on the remarkable stories of bravery and sacrifice in the tranquil parklands. Anzac Square Memorial Galleries is located at 285 Ann Street, Brisbane. Entry is through the double brass doors located beneath the Shrine of Remembrance. Book now to secure your tickets!
