An ACMI digital storytelling workshop creating stories through and about the Australian, Jewish community in partnership with The Jewish Museum of Australia.
These ten personal stories tell of the reasons for emigrating to Australia, whether it be for love or for a better life. These stories are woven with the excitement of new beginnings, the heartache of separation and the challenges of fitting respected traditions in with the new culture.
