My Life in the Lucky Country

About this book
Life in the Lucky Country is often not so lucky for Holocaust survivor Halina. As she circumnavigates the cultural jungle of post-war Melbourne to carve out a new life, Halina discovers the many ironies of the phrase “Lucky Country” made famous by Donald Horne in his scathing 1964 critique of Australia. While Australia is a young and free world, it is not devoid of the racism and sexism of the old-world Halina left behind. Playing out in three acts; Trials, Travels and Tributes, Halina Zylberman’s story chronicles the oft-underestimated strength of quiet determination.
