ne of the last things I ex-
pected to find on my trip to
Australia was its Jewish
museum in Sydney.
Somehow, Jewish immigration
to that part of the world was nev-
er entered into my data banks.
Housed in a stately building in a
formerly Jewish neighborhood
(before that familiar exodus to
the suburbs), the facility started
in the 1930s as a memorial to
Australian Jewish war veterans.
Current exhibits begin with the
history of our people in Australia;
most of the space is devoted to the
Holocaust.
The museum is modeled after
the Guggenheim, with a central
ramp spiraling up its seven lev-
els. On the main floor, visitors see
Jewish history in Australia, in
a format designed to demystify
our people to those of other faiths,
while inspiring pride in our an-
cestors' achievements.
Levels two through seven
chronicle Hitler's rise to power,
the ghettos, camps and liberation.
A special section honors the
Righteous Among the Nations
who protected Jews from the
Nazis in Europe, and as far as
China.

ATTENTION HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS
AND THEIR FAMILIES
Since the late 1950's, the Jewish Family Service has assisted large numbers of Holo-
caust survivors successfully file claims against the German government.
In accordance with the Jewish Family Service's records management policy, records
of deceased clients would normally be destroyed. However, due to the historical
and archival significance of these records, they will be turned over to the Detroit
Holocaust Memorial Museum in December.
These are NOT clinical records. They document location, sites of internment, and
abuses perpetrated by the Nazis, and are of crucial archival significance. Access to
these records will be carefully monitored to maintain confidentiality.
If you are the next of kin to a deceased survivor who filed a claim against the Ger-
man government and do NOT want your relative's file to be archived at the Holo-
i caust Museum, call the Jewish Family Service at 559-1500 to arrange to pick up
I your relative's file. All files must be picked up by November 30.

A display from the Jewish museum.
There were 16 Jews among the
first 1,000 convicts exiled from
England, starting in 1788. Ofthe
145,000 prisoners sent there
through 1852, approximately
1,000 were Jews. Most were pet-
ty thieves, banished to the south-
ern hemisphere for stealing as
little as a watch or a silk hand-
kerchief. Sophie Mendoza, for a
relatively colorful example, was a
prostitute who stole from a client.
Noteworthy early exiles in-
clude Esther Abrahams, who
eventually became the first lady
of New South Wales. Joseph
Samuels was scheduled for hang-
ing, but broke three ropes in the
effort; his sentence was com-
muted to life. Ikey Solomon was
reputedly the fence upon whom
Charles Dickens modeled Fagin.
Although comprising less than
one percent of Australia's popu-
lation, Jews have risen to dis-
tinction in business, government
and the professions. General
John Monash, who served in the
Army in World war I, is one of the
country's most noted patriots,
knighted on the battlefield by
King George V. In World War II,
3,780 Jews fought for Australia.
Many exhibits are pho-
tographs; others include artifacts,
newspapers, sculptures and
videotaped interviews. Among
the more compelling reminders
is a monitor with 240 photos of
survivors' less-fortunate relatives
eerily fading in and out of a gray,
hazy background. Most impor-
tantly many of the volunteers
who serve as guides are sur-
vivors.
Over 1,000 belong currently to
the club for survivors. Most live
in Sydney or Melbourne (includ-
ing several of Schindler's benefi-
ciaries), in the southeastern part
of the country. On the west coast,
Perth also has a Holocaust cen-
ter.
Among the final messages the
museum offers is a quote from
Edmund Burke, 'The only thing
necessary for the triumph of evil
is for good men to do nothing." D
