This episode of The Greek Podyssey brings to light the forgotten stories of the “promised brides”—young Greek women who left their homeland after WWII to marry men they had never met, in foreign lands they had never seen.

From the U.S. to Canada, Germany to Australia, these women carried the weight of family duty and national hardship—leaving behind everything familiar, not for love, but to survive and support those they left behind.

We’re joined by Panagiota Nazou, academic and researcher, who shares insights from her powerful work on Greek women, migration, and diaspora identity. Together, we explore the emotional silence, cultural pressures, and personal strength behind these untold journeys.

🔹 Plus: Our regular 5-minute expert segments on legal and psychological matters for the diaspora.
