Sephardi narratives from Australia

"While Myer was conducting the interviews for this book, he was asked several times, ‘Are there Sephardi Jews living in Melbourne?’ Sephardi Jews have been in Australia since convict days, with the biggest influx in the 1950’s and ’60’s. Most are originally from Mediterranean regions, the Middle Eastern Islamic world and South East Asia. Many were born into traditional Jewish communities ranging from hundreds of years old to pre-Islamic communities over two thousand years old. Their numbers, however, have always been small relative to Ashkenazim (European Jews), which partially explains why their experiences...

Traitors

"In October 1943 Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Josef Stalin signed a solemn pact that once their enemies were defeated the Allied powers would 'pursue them to the uttermost ends of the earth and will deliver them to their accusers in order that justice may be done'. Nowhere did they say that justice would be selective. But it would prove to be. Traitors outlines the treachery of the British, American and Australian governments, who turned a blind eye to those who experimented on Australian prisoners of war. Journalist and bestselling author Frank Walker details how Nazis hired by ASIO were...

Racism

"Mike Cole tackles three countries in-depth: the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia. In the United Kingdom, he focuses on the effects of colonialism as well as looking at non-colour-coded racism, such as anti-Gipsy, Roma, and Traveller racism and xeno-racism directed at Eastern Europeans. Turning to the United States, Cole charts the dual legacies of indigenous genocide and slavery, as well as exploring anti-Latina and anti-Asian racism. Finally, in Australia, he interrogates the idea of "Terra Nullius" and its ongoing impact on the indigenous peoples, as well as other forms of racism, such as that...

Australia’s unthinkable genocide

""We are a moral people" and the very notion that Australians could have anything to do with genocide is unthinkable - so claimed parliamentarians when Australia was asked to ratify the UN's Genocide Convention in 1949. The reality is that even decent democrats and people who consider themselves good colonists are capable of doing just that - killing people because of who they were, forcibly removing their children in order to assimilate them and erase them from the landscape, and then, in the name of their protection, incarcerated them on reserves in a manner that caused them serious physical and mental harm....

White Australia has a black history

"Some say he was Australia’s Martin Luther King. William Cooper saw his Aboriginal people dying around him and decided black lives matter. Starvation and discrimination took their toll. He became passionate that they should have a voice in Australia’s federal parliament".

Shattered lives broken dreams

"The Nazis shatter glass and shatter the lives of European Jews at Kristallnacht, the start of the Holocaust. An Australian Aboriginal, William Cooper, leads the campaign for civil rights for his people who are dying of poverty and mistreatment around him. 1938; two worlds, far apart. Cut to the core after Kristallnacht, can he do anything to stop it? Described as Australia’s Martin Luther King, Cooper leads the Australian Aborigines’ League on a protest to the German Consulate in Melbourne. Would the Third Reich pour out its wrath on them? Would they make a difference? A Chair of Resistance to the Holocaust was...
