This book moves from local issues, including Holocaust survivor migration and antisemitism, to transnational, regional and international issues, Zionism, Israel and Soviet Jewry. Through a thematic approach, this book examines the major challenges that Australian Jews and the Jewish world have faced since 1945, seen from an Australian perspective.
Drawing on a wide range of sources, this book provides a new and original evaluation of these major issues. Jewish Communal Advocacy in Post-War Australia would be an invaluable resource for graduate students and scholars of contemporary Jewish history.
