'This is the turbulent history of the modern world, reflected in the memories of refugees who have settled in Australia from WWII to the 21st century.' (Trove record)

Notes

  • First recorded for the National Library, author and historian, Ann-Mari Jordens, now brings to the page the voices of people escaping persecution and conflict in world troublespots since WWII. A rare chance to hear in their own words why and how people left families and homes and what they found resettling in Australia. It's also the story of ordinary Australians—individuals, community groups and government workers—who gave welcome and support. Through the accounts, Jordens also tracks shifts in government policy from Chifley to Fraser to present times. Source: http://halsteadpress.com.au/ (Sighted 29/11/2012).
  • Launched by Father Frank Brennan at the National Library of Australia, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, 18 June 2012.
