Abstract

Some 10,000 German-speaking Jews found refuge in Australia. Most of them decided after the Holocaust to remain at the ‘edge of diaspora’. After their expulsion and exile they experienced a long process of social re-integration and re-acculturation, developing firm ties with Australia as their newly adopted home country and identifying themselves as Australians and Jews. This process has been successfully completed, dissolving - as everywhere - the existence of a small German-Jewish diaspora community. This article attempts to shed light on the various processes of transformation.
