Deborah Nixon

We get to peek into Deborah’s life and through her, re-live the stories of the very tumultuous partition era. At 21, her father was tasked with escorting villagers and trains – at night, riding on the top, with just a rifle. Her father was also an avid photographer and has documented local stories you will not find in history books.

Deborah herself holds a PhD and is a lecturer at the University of Technology, Sydney. This one small family, holds so many stories, artefacts, photographs that tell of the horrors, and the joyous, and triumphant moments.

Deborah is a captivating story teller and during the podcast, I liken her to a (better) Rose, taking us on a vivid history lesson woven with personal stories.

Hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Hope you are inspired to dig a little deeper and learn more about this time in history.
