A product of four decades of research, this volume examines the major issues that the Australian Jewish community has addressed since the end of World War II, focusing on the efforts of the community's peak representative organisation, the Executive Council of Australian Jewry.The book moves from local issues, including Holocaust survivor migration and antisemitism, to transnational regional and international issues, Zionism, Israel and Soviet Jewry. Through a thematic approach, the book examines the major challenges that Australian Jews and the Jewish world have faced since 1945 seen from an Australian perspective.Drawing on a wide range of sources, the book provides a new and original evaluation of these major issues.Jewish Communal Advocacy in Post-War Australiawould be an invaluable resource for graduate students and scholars of contemporary Jewish history.
