Description:"A World War II injustice Britain and Australia would like to forget."The Weekend AustralianOn 10 July 1940, a low grey ship lay at the Pierhead in Liverpool, loading an extraordinary cargo. The ship was HMT Dunera, and her "cargo" consisted of 2542 German and Austrian internees, most political or racial refugees and bitter enemies of Nazism. The refugees, all men, came from various English camps, where they had been interned as "friendly enemy aliens". They had been told that they were to be shipped to the United States or Canada, where they would have more freedom of movement, and that their wives and children would soon join them. But in fact they were destined for austere internment camps in Australia, and were soon to find that the ship that was to carry them to "freedom" was, in effect, a floating concentration camp.Stripped of personal possessions, crammed below decks in appalling conditions, the internees wre subjected to brutal and humiliating treatment throughout the vorage. On arrival in Australia, the refugees, some of whom had lived in England since early childhood, some of whom had suffered privation and cruelty at the hands of the Nazis, were treated as criinals and subversives, and held in barbed-wire-protected camps for years, despite British government attempts, rather late in the day, to have many of them released.Acclaimed Australian writer Cyril Pearl fought government censorship, libel threats and a wall of official silence for more than six years to write the story behind the Dunera scandal. Even today, both British and Australian governments are unwilling to disclose all the facts and a 100 year banhas been placed on the relevant files.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
