TítuloHWA LIEN
DescripciónThis image depicts Gertrude Carver (nee Elter) and her sister Edith Elter in front of the hull of HWA LIEN.
Being a bona fide refugee leaving the ghetto in Shanghai to Australia would have been a chance to re-establish their lives and to achieve levels of normality.
The HWA LIEN is historically significant as being one of the passenger ships transporting Jewish refugees to Australia in 1947 for resettlement and humanitarian aid. Subsidised fares for jewish refugeesShanghai Jews were undertaken by the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. The HWA LIEN was a media phenomenon, with the ship being linked to the Australian media controversy surrounding the arrival of Jewish refugees to Darwin, Brisbane and Sydney.
The date of the photograph is assumed to coincide with the landing permit (1947) for Carver (under Fritz Schnitzer) to Australia.
