Description
Interviews with Sephardim from Melbourne and Sydney whose histories differ from their European counterpart. Some lived idyllic lives in Morocco and Egypt whilst others were persecuted and forcibly expelled from their traditional homelands. Others reveal the geographic reach of Nazi fanaticism. Some did not have positive experiences initially but all are grateful that Australia gave them the freedom to live a safe and happy life.
