The stories of the so called Dunera boys is on show at the NSW State Library. They were a group of two thousand plus boys and men, mostly Jewish refugees who’d fled to Britain to escape Nazi persecution, only to be deemed enemy aliens and shipped to Australia on the military ship Dunera in September 1940 and held in internment camps in Hay, Orange and Tatura. Among them were musicians, artists, philosophers, scientists and writers who used their creativity to survive, making artworks and establishing an unofficial university, libraries and orchestras, publishing a newspaper and even minting their own currency.
