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 postwar Europe but also on the periphery of the political changes taking place in the West, such as the stirrings of a Cold War.

The survivors brought with them Yiddish, the lingua franca of East European Jewry, and their distinct European culture.

They were never fully free of the ghosts of their terrible suffering under German occupation.,
