This study considers Welsh Jewry as a geographical whole and is the first to draw extensively on oral history sources, giving a voice back to the history of Welsh Jewry, which has long been a formal history of synagogue functionaries and institutions. The author considers the impact of the Second World War on Wales’s Jewish population, as well as the importance of the Welsh context in shaping the Welsh-Jewish experience. The study offers a detailed examination of the numerical decline of Wales’s Jewish communities throughout the twentieth century, and is also the first to consider the situation of Wales’s Jewish communities in the early twenty-first, arguing that these communities may be significantly fewer in number and smaller than in the past but they are ever evolving.

Ch. 11 (pp. 281-315), "Public Relations 1978-1995, " discusses the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies' monitoring of the local media (including Arabic newspapers) and its reactions to antisemitism and anti-Zionism. It also monitored extremist organizations, both right and left, and encouraged the passing of anti-racist (including anti-antisemitic) legislation. In 1995 the Federal Racial Hatred Act was passed, but the Jewish community was not satisfied with its watered-down provisions. Ch. 12 (pp. 317-343), "Remembering the Holocaust 1978-1995, " discusses the Holocaust commemoration activities sponsored by the Jewish community, among them the Holocaust Remembrance Committee, Yom Hashoah and Holocaust Awareness Week, the Australian Association of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, an oral testimony project, Holocaust teaching kits, an educational link to Yad Vashem, the Australian Institute for Holocaust Studies, and the Sydney Jewish Museum, which is largely devoted to the Holocaust and has had an impact on Australian non-Jews as well as Jews.

Jews form only a tiny proportion of the Australian population, yet they have made outstanding contributions and have influenced Australian society immeasurably. Stories such as that of Sir John Monash, Australian commander-in-chief during World War I, whose legacy continues through Monash University, show how Jews have reached the highest echelons of Australian society. The Jews in Australia explores what makes the Australian Jewish community different from other Jewish communities around the world. It traces the community's history from its convict origins in 1788 through to today's vibrant Jewish culture in Australia, and highlights the social and cultural impact the Jews have had on Australia. As well as looking at the emergence of a specific faith tradition in Australia, the book also explores how Jews, as Australia's first ethnic group, have integrated into multicultural Australia.
