Diana Mara Henry’s I Am André is an amazing real-life story of espionage, of courage and resistance, and of friendship and love. It pulls back the veil on the hidden history of the struggle for the identity of the Resistance in France. The life of ‘André’ Joseph Scheinmann is more intriguing and compelling than any work of fiction. His true-life story of derring-do starts in Munich, as a Jewish youth whose family moves to France in 1933 to escape the Nazi tide. He joins the French army at the outbreak of WW2 and escapes from a prisoner-of war camp after the bitterly brief fight for France in the summer of 1940.

In the post-war years, Melbourne and Sydney were the principal centers of Holocaust survivor settlement in Australia, with more than 30,000 arrivals between the late 1930s and 1960, almost tripling the size of the country’s small Jewish population. Melbourne received the largest number of survivors, to have one of the highest per-capita survivor populations outside Israel.
