Bathurst Family History Group – Author Talk

May 20 @ 2:00 pm 4:00 pm

Alek Schulha has written a well-researched book, Beneath the Shadows of Mount Molly Morgan, which tells the story of the Greta Migrant Camp where over 100,000 displaced persons, stateless people, migrants and refugees fleeing war-torn Europe were housed between 1949 and the centre’s closure in 1960.  Alek’s extensive research will provide insights into the Bathurst Migrant Centre, which operated as a migrant reception centre from 1948 to its closure in April 1952, from which many were transferred to the Greta Camp. 

Bathurst Family History Group is seeking stories and photos of the Bathurst Camp.

Gold coin donation and afternoon tea provided.
