12.01.2022 On 25th September 1940, a converted troopship, formerly the luxury passenger liner, the Queen Mary, arrived in Australia from Singapore. On board were 232 Jewish refugees who had fled Nazi persecution in Germany and Austria. Classified as ‘enemy aliens’ they were transported to an internment camp in Tatura, Victoria. Less than two years later Singapore fell and their enforced deportation and internment had most likely saved their lives. At 4:00 pm on November 15, Emanuel Syna...gogue, the Dunera Association together with the Duldig Studio will present a special event to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the arrival of the Dunera and the Queen Mary.
