Naomi Levy: The Shifting Policy of British Internment and Deportation, 1939-1940
Why were German and Austrian Jewish refugees interned when they arrived in the UK? Why were so many deported out of the country?
In this joint event with the Second Generation Network, Naomi Levy, whose German-born father, then Hermann Gutmann, was deported to Australia on HMT Dunera, spoke about his experience of internment there based on his 1941 diary.
Please note that this event also featured Roger Kershaw from The National Archives, who has written extensively on the subjects of immigration, emigration and aliens. If you would like to access the full talk please contact The Wiener Library directly on 020 7636 7247 or info@wienerlibrary.co.uk.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using

SUMMARY
=======
The history of the Jews in Australia traces the history of Australian Jews from the British settlement of Australia commencing in 1788. The first Jews came to Australia as convicts transported to Botany Bay in 1788 aboard the First Fleet that established the first European settlement on the continent, on the site of present-day Sydney. There were 97,335 Australians who identified themselves as Jewish in the 2011 census, but the actual number is estimated to be 112,000. (An answer to the question on the census was optional.) The majority are Ashkenazi Jews, many of them refugees and Holocaust survivors who arrived during and after World War II, and their descendants. Jewish citizens make up about 0.5% of the Australian population.
First Person 2016: Henry Kahn
Through the First Person program, Holocaust survivors have the opportunity to share their remarkable personal stories of hope, tragedy, and survival with thousands of visitors at the Museum. This program was recorded on June 23, 2016. It features Henry Kahn, who was born in Böblingen, Germany, in 1923. After Kristallnacht, Henry was sent to England on a Kindertransport. Once World War II began, Henry was interned as an enemy alien and sent to Australia and then India, where he remained until after the war ended.
