This second volume of Dunera Lives presents the voices, faces, and lives of20 people, who, together with nearly 3000 other internees from Britain andSingapore, landed in Australia in 1940. All over the world there were Dunera lives,those of men and women who passed through the upheavals of theSecond World War and survived to tell the tale. Here are some of their stories.

A contribution to the history of Australia, to the history ofmigrants and migration, and to the history of human rights, these two volumesput in the public domain a story whose full dimensions and complexity havenever been described.
