Living With the Past

Gage's Eleni

In November father and daughter Nicholas Gage and Eleni Gage spoke to the Associates about Living With the Past: Exploring Family History Through Two Generations. Nikos Gatzoyiannis (Nicholas Gage) is the author of Eleni, the investigation of his mother Eleni’s life in Greece and her death at the hands of Communist guerillas after seeing to her children’s escape to a refugee camp. Her namesake granddaughter Eleni Gage is the author of the travel memoir, North of Ithaka, recounting her return to rebuild her family’s ancestral home in Greece.
