This book looks at Australia’s reactions and official and community attitudes to the crisis in Europe (W.W.II). The author examines the historical and ideological background in Australia and in Europe of anti-semitism and the effect that this had on government policy and the media response to the stories coming out of Central Europe in the 1930s. He shows that, quite apart from their frequently hostile attitude of official representatives and prominent Australians, response of the establishes the Jewish population to the refugees was ambivalent to say the least.”
