Description from source
0.16 metres of textual material (1 box) - manuscript and typescript, 1 fantasy note - 7.6 x 13.8 cm - printed.

A collection of poetry, official papers and correspondence relating to the life of Franz Philipp, one of nearly 2,500 mostly Jewish refugees who were deported from the United Kingdom to Australia on board the H. M. T. Dunera in 1940. The collection, largely in German, includes poetry written by Philipp as well letters and postcards from family and friends, official papers and correspondence, academic reports, newspaper clippings and arrangements for his own epitaph. It covers the period from his time as a student in pre-war Austria, as a prisoner of the Nazis and flight as a refugee, deportation as an enemy alien from Britain after the outbreak of the Second World War, cultural and academic life in Australian internment camps, efforts to locate family left behind in Austria, and life as an academic in his adopted home in postwar Australia.
