The new issue of the Dunera & Queen Mary Association newsletter focuses on the meeting in Tatura in April to mark the 85th anniversary of the landing of the Dunera.
Sarah Caplin, the wife of British journalist and son of Dunera Boy Hans Rosenblüth Nick Ross, reports on her impressions of the event and the visit to the site of Tatura Camp 2, where the Dunera Boys were imprisoned from spring 1941 until well after 1942. Nick Ross’ appearance at Tatura is available as a video (see below).
Miriam Gould was interned at the age of just eleven months with her parents, Queen Mary internees Ilse and Werner Baer. The former “baby internee” reports on the story of her parents and their life in Australia.
The path of the brothers Kurt, Walter and Arnold Friedmann led from Suhl (Thuringia) to Melbourne. Their family had a butcher’s shop in Suhl, which Kurt and Arnold joined after leaving school, while Walter would have liked to study law. When they were discharged from the Australian army, they decided to set up a butcher’s shop together. The story of this family is told by a nephew of the brother trio.
The newsletter is completed with the second part of the biography of Dunera Boy Heinz Dehn.

Event in Melbourne
“From Berlin to the Bush to Brighton: Leonhard Adam’s Dunera Journey” is the title of an event at the Lamm Library on July 15 at 8:30 pm. Leonhard Adam (1891-1960) was not only a well-known ethnologist and lawyer. Fleeing from the Nazis, he came to England, where he was interned and deported to Australia on the HMT Dunera. His artistic works, which were created in the Tatura camps, are also well-known. Released from internment, he was able to resume his research in 1942.
