Good Condition
A collection of official correspondence, and testimonies and reminiscences of internees, published to accompany an exhibition on the transfer from Britain to Australia of 2,732 prisoners of war and "enemy aliens" - most of the latter Jewish refugees - on the military transport "Dunera". The commander of the "Dunera", Lt. Col. W.P. Scott, who saw the Nazi POWs as "a fine type, honest and straightforward", described the Jewish internees as "subversive liars, demanding and arrogant", and their brutal mistreatment by the guards aboard ship was accompanied by insults such as "German Jewish swine". Describes, also, their life in Australian internment camps and negotiations for their release in an Australia unwilling to receive them.
