Description
  1. vii, 229 p.; 22 cm.
Summary
  1. Examines the experiences of Holocaust survivors, based on interviews with eleven Polish Jews who emigrated to Australia after World War II, focusing on their self-image. Discusses life in Poland during the 1920s-30s, mentioning the exclusion of Jews from social circles and antisemitism, especially in schools and universities. Anti-Jewish stereotypes were accepted by many of the interviewees. Describes their wartime experiences - life in the ghettos, in concentration and extermination camps, or in hiding - and analyzes the Jewish response to these experiences, Polish antisemitism during and after the war, and the effect on the survivors' Jewish identity. also discusses Australian immigration policy and the hostile reception of immigrants.
