Popular culture has mythologised the Dunera Boys but who were the real men who sailed on the infamous ship, and how did the voyage transform their lives?Art historian Tonia Eckfeld draws on a deeply personal history to tell the story of her father and her uncle, Jewish refugees whose lives were shaped indelibly by their wartime experiences and internment each to very different outcomes.In 1939, Reinhold and Waldemar Eckfeld fled Hitlers Austria to Churchills United Kingdom. There they were unjustly arrested and transported on the Dunera to Tatura prison camp, where it took many months to gain their freedom. Their experiences of internment were often harrowing, riven with violence, deprivation and frustration. Waldemar, who was beaten by British guards aboard the Dunera, found himself entangled in court martial proceedings the records of which were reportedly destroyed by the British government to hush up a human-rights scandal. Reinhold, classified as an enemy alien, joined the Australian Army after release and served the country that would not legally recognise him for so long.Drawing on a trove of historical artefacts including previously unseen artworks, photographs and official documents Tonia Eckfeld takes the reader inside these events as they unfold. Gripping and illuminating, this book asks us to reconsider the conventional narrative of the Dunera Boys, unearthing new perspectives on the impact of war, trauma and legacy on family relationships.The story of the Dunera internees usually is presented as one of triumph. As Tonia Eckfeld knows intimately, the story is richer and more complex than that. In this compassionate and moving book, she encourages us to consider anew the Dunera story and its many intricacies.
