论澳大利亚犹太人的历史变迁

On the Historical Development of Australian Jewry

澳大利亚犹太人是一个特殊族群,最早踏上澳大利亚这片土地的是一批被流放的英国囚犯。此后,不同时期的犹太移民潮共同构成了现今澳大利亚的犹太族群。澳大利亚犹太族群在历史变迁中的不断壮大、在澳大利亚社会中发挥的重要作用,彰显出在澳犹太人顽强拼搏和与不幸命运抗争的精神。同时,此现象也昭示了兼容并蓄与相互融通是不同文化和文明交往的真谛。

Australian Jewry commenced with the arrival of a dozen of Jewish convicts from Britain. After several waves of Jewish immigrants,organized Jewish communities were established in Australia and continued to be enriched and strengthened in the following historical times. Playing an important role in present Australian society,Australian Jewry has demonstrated their tenacious spirit and great determination in fighting against destiny. Meanwhile,inclusiveness and mutual acceptance have been revealed as the truth in inter-cultural communications.
