Author(s) Deborah Gurt AbstractThis article looks at a period in the 1930s and 40s in which Carlton became a centre for secular Jewish culture and life in Melbourne. This article discusses this community, from the factors that caused its members to leave Europe, to their journey, to their attempts to keep Yiddish culture and language alive in postwar Australia, and assesses their impact.
