SUMMARY:From the Baltic to the Pacific: The first Displaced Persons to arrive in Australia after WW2
DESCRIPTION:This free Zoom event is our first partnership with the National Archives of Australia in 2023.  \nIn early December 1947\, the first post WW2 ‘Displaced Persons’ arrived in Melbourne. They were 839 women and men from Estonia\, Latvia and Lithuania\, selected for resettlement in Australia. This seminar looks at this historic journey\, set against the backdrop of Australia’s attitudes and policies to migrants at the time. It also showcases the range of records available via the National Archives of Australia. \n  \nPresented by Patrick Ferry\, Assistant State Manager\, Victoria\, National Archives of Australia. \nWe send out the Zoom log-in details 24 hours before the event and\, immediately on booking\, you’ll be sent an automatic email confirmation of your booking. Please check your Spam or Junk folder if an email isn’t apparent. \nImage caption: \n\n\nHMAS Kanimbla arrives at Melbourne with the first group of displaced persons (Dec 1947) en route by train to Bonegilla Migrant Camp.
