Overview
A gripping story of exile, survival, and cultural collision in wartime Australia.
How did Australia treat one of Europe's hottest jazz bands after they were forced into exile by the Third Reich? Silences and Secrets uncovers the untold story of the Weintraubs Syncopators, a Jewish jazz ensemble who fled Nazi Germany and sought refuge in Australia.
Kay Dreyfus pieces together their journey, from the vibrant cabarets of Berlin to the challenges of navigating a new society amidst the turmoil of war. Explore the band's clashes with the protectionist Musicians' Union, their struggles with internment, and the enduring impact of prejudice and suspicion.
- Discover the hidden history of a world-class musical act.
- Understand the complexities of refugee experiences in wartime Australia.
- Examine the intersection of social, political, and cultural forces shaping migration.
