The Secret Life Of Georgina: Conversation With ABC

Georgina Godwin recently spoke with a journalist from ABC about her new book The Eye Of The Beholder, a dramatic story of lies, trust, and love. During the discussion, she recalls growing up in Zimbabwe, working as a journo under Mugabe’s regime, and learning of her father’s long-held secret.

The journalist’s father, George Godwin, was an engineer of Polish Jewish ancestry. However, Georgina and her brother Peter were shocked when they discovered their parents were not entirely honest with them.

Her father, George Godwin, was living a lie all those years. She later discovered that her father’s real name was Kazimierz Jerzy Goldfarb, and he was a descendent of a Jewish family in Poland.

George later revealed that he hid his identity so Georgina and her brother could live a safe life. But, he added during 1939, Jews were an endangered minority and the target of ethnic cleansing.

Her mother, Helena, came from four generations of Anglican churchmen. She worked as a doctor at her medical clinic.
