  • Summary

  • Join us for a very special episode as we commemorate Oxi Day – the historic moment on October 28, 1940, when Greece famously defied Mussolini's ultimatum, shouting a resounding “No!” to fascist occupation. This act of defiance marked Greece’s entry into WWII, leaving a profound mark on world history, as Greece’s resistance slowed Axis powers and inspired global hope. Special, expert guest Greek Consul General, Yiannis Mallikourtis, brings a behind the scenes look into the history of the moment, while WWII aficionado, Nick Andriotakis, shares both the global and Australian reaction to the act of defiance. A must listen for all history buffs and members of the Greek diaspora.
