German Unity Day holds a personal meaning for our Founder and Director, Eva Hussain.
Having visited East Germany as a child in 1982, Eva has witnessed a profound transformation of Europe within her lifetime. She recently joined the celebrations in Sydney to reflect on that journey and the values of unity, freedom and democracy.
A particularly meaningful moment was the recognition of new German citizens who had reclaimed their citizenship through restitution. For us at Polaron, these journeys are a reminder of the lasting connection between citizenship, family history and belonging.
Thank you to German Consul General Felix Schwarz for welcoming Eva and recognising these new citizens as part of this special occasion.
