Peter Allen on the little-known legacy of Jewish ANZACs

Peter Allen of the Australian Jewish Historical Society explores the deep-rooted history of Jewish participation in the Australian military, dating back to the First Fleet. He discusses the legacy of prominent figures like Sir John Monash and the societal challenges faced by Jewish servicemen, including instances of antisemitism and the intentional concealment of religious identity. Peter Allen also highlights "Operation Jacob," a current initiative dedicated to documenting soldier narratives and ensuring that Jewish war graves are correctly identified with the Star of David.
