Dunera Lives: Profiles

The story of the ‘Dunera Boys’ is an intrinsic part of the history of Australia in the Second World War and in its aftermath. The injustice these 2000 men suffered through British internment in camps at Hay, Tatura and Orange is well known. Less familiar is the tale of what happened to them afterwards. Following on from Dunera Lives: A Visual History (2018), Dunera Lives: Profiles continues the saga in life stories. 

This second volume presents the voices, faces, and lives of 20 people, who, together with other internees from Britain and Singapore, landed in Australia in 1940.

An important contribution to the history of Australia, to the history of migrants and migration, and to the history of human rights.
