16 letters dated August to December 1939 from Pista Mérö and his wife Didi (Helen nee Weiss), in Budapest, to his two sisters and their husbands as they escaped from Hungary to re-establish their lives in Sydney. This correspondence from their brother charts their immigration journey from Europe, their arrival in Australia and hopes for the future. This collection highlights the difficulties of migrant and refugee experiences in Australia as they struggled to establish new lives as enemy aliens. |
