Read their story
Maria Ferraro left with her parents and siblings for Australia to join relatives. After World War II, work was scarce, and her parents soon realised that they needed to find new opportunity in order to survive. The decision to leave Italy was made by 'word of mouth' from the community and relatives writing letters.
