Award winning filmmaker Samuel Lucas Allen talks about their new short film CUT. We talk about how the film came together as a project, the extraordinary cinematography, on working with their father, Richard James Allen (who has been on the show several times to talk about his own work), and the father-son relationship in general, Judaism, guilt, toxic masculinity, the acting team (including a well-behaved chicken), the film score by composer Sam Weiss, what's exciting them right now and lots more.

Artificial Intelligence allows museum visitors to interact with the stories of Holocaust survivors

Meet Louise Glaser, who shares her story as a volunteer guide at the Sydney Jewish Museum

Best known for his bold modernist work, Sidney Nolan elevated the mythology of the Australian bush to global prominence and earned himself a place among the most significant artists of the 20th century. Yet his deeply expressive response to the Holocaust of the 2nd World War, where around 6 and a half million Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazis, has until now remained pretty much unseen and unknown. An exhibition of the works at the Sydney Jewish Museum uncovers an important chapter in his life and work: a series of images painted with great intensity during 1961, as the Adolf Eichmann trial came to a close and as Nolan prepared to visit Auschwitz. Museum curator Roslyn Sugarman discusses the exhibition, the preparation, and the chance meeting that uncovered this otherwise unseen body of Sidney Nolan's work.  A transcript of this interview is available for download HERE. The transcriptions are made possible by the support from the Australian Arts Channel.

Eddie Jaku was a German Jew who survived the horrors of Nazi Germany. He moved to Australia in 1950 and in the 90s he helped establish the Sydney Jewish Museum where he dedicated his life to sharing the message of tolerance and hope.

SBS Yiddish report with Alex Dafner. The Australian Jewish community commemorated ANZAC Day on the 25th April and a special event was held at the Sydney Jewish Museum to honour the more than 7,000 Jewish servicemen and women who served in the Australian forces over the past 120 years.The Jewish military historian Peter Allen is on a mission to correct the inscriptions on the graves of some of the Australian Jewish combatants whose service he has researched and whose headstones record an incorrect name or religion. A Perth antiques auction house auctioned off some personal belongings, purported to have belonged to Adolf Hitler, which raised objections from two Jewish men who were escorted from the premises and revived calls to ban the sale of Nazi era memorabilia in Australia.

A Special tribute to former SBS Yiddish broadcaster, Ruth Leiser Z"L, a Child Holocaust survivor who passed away recently.Ruth was a Child Holocaust survivor, a brave and intelligent lady who left her impact on our Yiddish listeners around Australia. Our listeners loved her and appreciated her talent and her beautiful programs. She retired from SBS at the age of 70.Her contribution to preserve the Yiddish culture and language was extremely valuable. She also dedicated her life to educate the public about the Holocaust and to combat anti-Semitism by telling her miraculous powerful survival story to the students and visitors at the Sydney Jewish Museum. When she was just six years old Ruth, her parents and her younger brother fled their home in Lithuania after Nazi Germany invaded. Ruth's parents insisted on the four of them staying together, and they spent the next four years hiding from the Gestapo. The farmers who helped them put their own safety at extreme risk by hiding the family.I am privileged to have met Ruth and work with her for many years.Today as a tribute to Ruth, and her memory, we will hear her voice again talking about her family’s survivor. I conducted this interview with her in 2004

Eddie Jaku is a German Jew who has lived a glorious 100 years and is still going strong. Born in 1920, by the time Eddie was 18, his homeland was a very different country than when he was born. On November 10th 1938 Eddie Jaku was arrested, beaten, and taken to a concentration camp before eventually being taken to Auschwitz, the deadliest camp of the Holocaust. By virtue of some miracles, Eddie managed to survive and escape, before getting married and moving to Australia where he has lived out many prosperous years with his family. Eddie has written a memoir titled "The Happiest Man on Earth", and with a book title like that, David and I knew we had to talk to him. We are joined in the real and virtual studios by Jess Fruend and Luke from the Blind Insights Family. If you wish to know more about the Holocaust and Jewish History in Australia, visit the Sydney Jewish Museum website or make the trip to see the extensive collection. The Piano Piece in this clip is Nocturne in C Sharp Minor, a piece composed by Chopin and famously played by Polish Pianist Władysław Szpilman, as featured in the 2002 Polanski film The Pianist. Playing this piece to the audience of an SS officer, Captain Wilm Hosenfield, saved Szpilman's life in 1944, as Hosenfield not only let Szpilman go but provided him with food and warmth over several occassions.

It started with Yvonne Engleman noticing her school friends had started to treat her 'like she was invisible'. But the growing scourge of antisemitism soon gave way to far worse as Jews were legislated against, 'selected' for enforced labour and transported to camps. Yvonne, 15, found herself alone in Auschwitz and marked for death by sadistic camp physician Dr Joseph Mengele. Yvonne made her way to Australia after the war and now volunteers at the Sydney Jewish Museum. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The first Jewish people to come to Australia arrived on the First Fleet on 26 January 1788. Among the 827 convicts on the English First Fleet were at least 8 and possibly up to 14 or 15 British convicts who were Jewish. On board was Esther Abrahams. Esther would go on to become the First Lady of the Colony of New South Wales and an important landholder and farmer in her own right. Over the past few hundred years there have been several waves of Jewish migration to Australia.  More recently after the Second World War Australia accepted significant numbers of Jewish refugees from war ravaged Europe.  For this episode I recommend the excellent Australian history podcast Last Stop to Nowhere hosted by Michael Sloan and Kyle Sherer.
