Dunera Lives: Profiles

Explore the compelling narratives of resilience and survival in Dunera Lives: Profiles by Ken Inglis, published in 2020. This remarkable book delves into the stories of civilians who faced injustice during World War II, as they were arrested, deported, and incarcerated in camps at Hay, Orange, and Tatura. Over 2,500 men arrived from Britain on the Dunera, landing in Melbourne and Sydney in September 1940, while an additional 250 individuals came from Singapore aboard the Queen Mary shortly thereafter. In this extensive 512-page volume, Inglis follows the journeys of these individuals, shedding light on their lives before and during the Nazi regime. Dunera Lives: Profiles is an essential read for those interested in Australian history and the experiences of those affected by war. Discover the power of memory and the enduring human spirit as you turn the pages of this insightful work.
