SBS Yiddish report with Alex Dafner. 

The Australian Jewish community commemorated ANZAC Day on the 25th April and a special event was held at the Sydney Jewish Museum to honour the more than 7,000 Jewish servicemen and women who served in the Australian forces over the past 120 years.

The Jewish military historian Peter Allen is on a mission to correct the inscriptions on the graves of some of the Australian Jewish combatants whose service he has researched and whose headstones record an incorrect name or religion. 

A Perth antiques auction house auctioned off some personal belongings, purported to have belonged to Adolf Hitler, which raised objections from two Jewish men who were escorted from the premises and revived calls to ban the sale of Nazi era memorabilia in Australia.

Anzac Day is on 25.4.2021. What is the Jewish connection to Gallipoli? One of the heroes of the Anzac troops was John Henry Patterson, a highly decorated British soldier who trained Jewish soldiers for the Zion Mule Corps for Gallipoli, Jews that the Turks expelled out of Palestine. This became the first Jewish army in 2000 years.  
Our guest is the Melbourne eye surgeon, Dr Henry Lew OAM who was intrigued why John Henry Patterson was actively written out of history.
After an extensive research he had written a book, “Patterson of Israel”
Dr Henry Lew had in fact discovered that Patterson, a high-ranking British officer, has been actively been sidelined.  Dr Lew found that in fact, Patterson was a great friend of Israel and the Zionism and was a great friend of both Vladimir Jabotinsky and Chaim Weizmann.
