Hungarian Jews down under: a history of the Hungarian Jewish immigrants who arrived in Australia in 1956-7 and settled in Sydney

Jewish immigrants have always been part of the history of Australia since the earliest days of white presence. However it was only from the late 1930s and early 1940s that the fiirst significant wave of Hungarian Jews came here looking for refuge from the antisemitic regime of Hungary. The next wave came between 1945 and 1950, people displaced by the war and/or people fleeing from the communist regime. The third wave came as a consequence of the Hungarian Revolution of October 1956. They are often referred to as the '56ers'
