SUMMARY:80th Anniversary event - Dunera\, Tatura and Leonard Adam
DESCRIPTION:https://dunera.org.au/calendars/80th-anniversary-dunera-tatura-
 leonhard-adam/\n\nAs the clouds of war gathered in the late 1930s\, thousa
 nds of German refugees - either Jewish or politically opposed to the Nazis
  - fled to Britain for sanctuary. Some were soon deported\, together with 
 other Germans and Austrians who had lived in Britain for some time\, to Au
 stralia on the ship HMT Dunera in one of the more notorious incidents in B
 ritish maritime history. The ship had a capacity of 1\,600 including the c
 rew. It set sail from Liverpool 80 years ago on 10 July 1940\, crammed wit
 h some 2\,000 mostly Jewish refugees\, aged 16 to 66. Alongside them were 
 around 500 Italian and German fascists\, meaning the ship was hugely overc
 rowded.\n\nAfter a 57-day journey in appalling conditions\, during which t
 he ship was hit by a torpedo\, the internees' eventual arrival is regarded
  as one of the greatest influxes of academic and artistic talent to have e
 ntered Australia on a single vessel. The fascists as well as around 100 
 “Dunera boys” were put ashore at Melbourne and taken to Tatura detenti
 on camp in Victoria. Arriving in Sydney\, the remaining Dunera Boys were f
 irst interned in Hay in New South Wales\; in 1941 they were brought to Tat
 ura.\n\nThe 80th anniversary of the ship's arrival was to be commemorated 
 in Australia by a series of events. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, the Dun
 era Association has been forced to rethink their plans and on August 30 wi
 ll be holding a major virtual event honouring the Dunera Boys and highligh
 ting the amazing achievements of one of the boys\, Leonhard Adam\, judge\,
  anthropologist and artist.\n\nThe event\, presented together with Emanuel
  Synagogue will feature Dunera Association president\, Ron Reichwald\, a v
 irtual tour of the Tatura Museum\, and Leonhard Adam's daughter\, Mary-Cla
 re Adam in Israel will be revealing the fascinating stories behind some of
  her father’s art.\n\nEarlier this year as a tribute to the spirit of th
 e Dunera Boys\; the creativity and ingenuity that they displayed even whil
 e in captivity\, Emanuel Synagogue launched Dunera (www.dunera.org.au)\, a
  virtual platform designed to provide our community with access to educati
 onal and cultural events.\n\nJoin us from 3:00pm to 4:30pm on Sunday 30 Au
