In the ten years immediately following the Second World War, some
170 000 immigrants from Europe and Britain arrived in Australia.
First published in 1988, this unique book recreates the experiences
of those who fled a ravaged Europe to seek a new life in
far-distant Australia. Their stories are told in the words of the
people themselves, supplemented with photographs, documents, press
reports and memorabilia. These stories of over 100 Australians, New
and Old, stories sometimes humorous and often very moving, provide
a fascinating insight into a significant moment in Australian
history. As the first definitive examination of life in the migrant
camps, it documents a part of Australian history in danger of
vanishing without trace. Never before has there been such a
collection of intensely personal accounts of what it was like to
pass through the immigration centres and workers' hostels on the
way to building new lives - and to shaping present-day Australia.
