Ernst Kitzinger, a 20th-Century art historian, was one of 2,500 men arrested in 1940 as ‘enemy aliens’ and deported from Britain to Australia aboard the HMT Dunera. Incarcerated in Hay, Kitzinger and his fellow internees mused on their lot through powerful prose and poetry, published here for the first time.
Ernst Kitzinger was one of the great art historians of the twentieth century, and a refugee incarcerated in Hay, New South Wales during WWII. As a German Jew he had sought refuge in Britain in 1935, but in 1940 was one of 2,500 men arrested as ‘enemy aliens’ and deported to Australia aboard the HMT Dunera. Kitzinger rallied his fellow internees to communicate their peculiar circumstances. In powerful and often deeply moving prose and poetry, they mused on their lot and the misfortunes of refugees. Never before published, their words remain strikingly relevant today.

Seumas Spark is an Adjunct Fellow in History, Monash University. He has published widely on the Dunera internees.
