about the book

We Are Our Memories is a series of vignettes related to events, people and opinions from a recollection of many decades. Having been involved in periods of major distressing episodes as well as joyful ones, the author has been fortunate to meet and contact some historical figures and campaigned ceaselessly for many decades to honour the Righteous Gentiles, the salt of the Earth who saved their fellow citizen at the risk of their own lives. He pays tributes to rescuers. Reports on nazi crimes from an unusual vantage point are communicated by a former appointed functionary. He recalls teachers, colleagues and books that have shaped his life and motivated him not to remain silent. He recalls liberation by the Red Army from the terrors of nazi tyranny and pays tribute to Australia, which he embraced passionately. He has been honoured by Sweden, by the Royal Order of the Polar Star and he has been made an Officer of the Order of Australia in 2018.
