Survival and sanctuary : testimonies of the Holocaust and life beyond
Hodge, Freda2023
Book
When Jewish survivors of the Holocaust arrived in Australia after World War II, they were filled with hope that they could build a new life. These survivors found themselves in a country not only blessedly far from the chaos of post-war Europe but also on the periphery of the political changes taking place in the West, such as the stirrings of a Cold War. Australia offered the peace so necessary to those who had been through unspeakable tragedy. With their arrival, Australian Jewish communities would change dramatically. The survivors brought with them Yiddish, the lingua franca of East European Jewry, and their distinct European culture. A new era began as Jewish culture flourished and Jewish society developed in Australia. Yet these survivors continued to live with their searing memories. Translated into English for the first time, these seven testimonies provide a window into the experiences of these survivors.
