In 1947 the town of Darwin welcomed a ship carrying refugees from mainly Jewish refugees who had fled Europe to find a haven in Shanghai. At the end of World War II they joined the thousands of immigrants entering Australia. These Europeans did not stay in Darwin and many eventually settled in Melbourne. In time they were followed by other Russian refugees from Bolshevism and the Iraqis, who were Shanghai's former merchant princes. Antonia Finnane traces the extraordinary lives and experiences of some of these Shanghai immigrants, remembered and related as oral history by the people themselves.
