On 15.9.2024, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the displacement and extermination of the Jews of Rhodes and Kos, an event was organized in Sydney, Australia, during which a theatrical action was presented on the history of the Alhadeff family from Rhodes. The project "Torn Apart by War", in free rendering "Torn Apart by War" is inspired by true events and concerns the Jewish family Alhadeff's desperate attempt to escape from Rhodes before the Holocaust. The event was held with the cooperation of the Consulate General of Greece in Sydney and the contribution of the Jewish Museum of Rhodes.
The theatrical performance belongs to Mr. Vic Alhadeff, whose parents, when they left Rhodes, went to what was then Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, where the author grew up.
During the event, the Consul General of Greece in Sydney, Yiannis Mallikourtis, spoke, who, among other things, pointed out: "The history of Rhodes is not just a Jewish story, it is also a Greek story, but not exactly that, it crosses borders, and finally becomes a story of universal importance."
