Eugene Zarebski - a Story of Escape, Survival and Resilience

Aged sixteen after her family emigrated from England to Australia, Linda worked for various building companies in Melbourne-saving to build a house with her migrant husband. She then had two children and simultaneously caught up on a neglected education by attaining a Bachelor of Arts degree part-time. Following a teaching diploma from the University of Melbourne, she began a career teaching Migrant English, which later became known as ESL (English as a Second Language).
Following an M.Ed. (TESOL) from Monash University, she returned to England to participate in programs being run in this field of teaching. Based in Yorkshire from 2000-6, Ted and Linda enjoyed many trips to Europe, including Linda's four visits to Poland to get to know more about her family and the country her father loved. She has also published poetry over the years in various quarterly magazines and journals.
