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.

"Sydney’s Great Synagogue (aka the Big Shule), constructed in 1878, is a significant heritage building and its congregation, which is 50 years older than the building itself, has made a major contribution to Australian life. This book, by its emeritus rabbi, traces the vital role of the Great Synagogue in the life of its congregation and the history of Australia." -- Publisher.

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.

The Jews of South Wales focuses on the Jewish communities in Cardiff, Swansea, and the South Wales valleys in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, examining their everyday lives as well as more dramatic and sensational events, such as the Tredegar Riots in 1911 and the Jewess Abduction Case of 1867. A new introduction by Paul O'Leary considers scholarship published since the book's first publication and also discusses the polarized views about the Tredegar Riots of 1911: Were the riots the result of anti-Semitism, or was South Wales a philo-Semitic place, where the Welsh and Jewish communities had much in common?

Professor John Croucher gives an account of the first and continuing history of the first peoples to live in the region now known as New South Wales, as well as its history from the days of British settlement and its more recent history, of the waves of other immigrants who have made New South Wales their home. Each section in the book focuses on a different cultural or historical aspect which is examined thoroughly from the beginnings of British settlement. The complete development of the state is told, weaving through these various areas of focus, along with the important people and events. Remarkable pioneers have helped shape not only the state but the country as a whole and their voices, some coming to us via oral history, others via historical documents, make fascinating reading.
