Description

This anthology gives voice to the remarkable variety of experiences that make up the texture of the Melbourne community. Many of them reflect the fact that Australia had the highest percentage of Holocaust survivors of any diaspora Jewish community in the world. Each voice gives a picture of the family before the war, when life was sweet, so the reader knows what was taken away. Two photos accompany every contribution: when possible, one from the past and then a family group from the present – a celebration of the new life they were given.
