And that vou can be proud to 0 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. N cT: own. For a long, long time.

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. z • ORIENTAL RUGS THE MOST EXCITING KNITTING & NEEDLEPOINT Rochelle Imber's We buy them, sell them, appraise them, clean them repair them and love them!

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."
