Author(s) Andrew Jakubowizc AbstractBook Review: In the late 1940s Australian Jewry was probably at its most turbulent period - Australian Jews of British ancestry were torn over Zionist struggles against the British in Palestine; surviving Eastern European Bundists crawled into Australia, holding about them the shreds of their pasts as barely-accepted survivors of the Holocaust; Zionists sought to rally supporters for their struggle, seeing in Australia's rejection of Holocaust survivors a driver to draw imm-grants to Eretz Israel. Among the doctors and lawyers, the taxi drivers and stallholders, the bakers and grocers, the years of post-war Australia's Jewish dawn took place. The Levey/Mendes collection notes this history, distinguishing its variable trajectories in different Australian cities.
