1 y separately published work icon We Are Here : Talking with Australia's Oldest Holocaust Survivors Fiona Harari , Melbourne : Scribe , 2018 13911093 2018 anthology autobiography

'These are the last adult witnesses — in their own words.

'When Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933, he quickly began to realise his dream of a racially superior nation free of ‘inferior’ groups. His goal included the eradication of European Jewry, a plan that would ultimately claim six million lives. By 1945, almost two in three European Jews were dead. So were millions of other victims of Nazism.

'For those who survived, liberation came with the enormous weight of guilt and memory as they began the second part of their lives, often in faraway places such as Australia, which would become home to one of the world’s highest per capita communities of Holocaust survivors.

'Now the last of those adult survivors have reached an age once considered unattainable. They outlasted Nazism, and today, in their tenth and eleventh decades, have outlived most of their contemporaries. Eighteen of these Australians, originally from all over Europe, tell what it is like to have endured those years, and how they lived long after them.'

1 7 y separately published work icon A Tragedy in Two Acts : Marcus Einfeld and Teresa Brennan Fiona Harari , Carlton : Melbourne University Press , 2011 Z1813770 2011 single work biography 'This was not the ending either of them expected. Marcus Einfeld, former Federal Court judge and human rights champion, and his old friend Teresa Brennan, an exuberant, sometimes controversial US-based academic, had each spent years establishing demanding careers and international reputations, to create two lives that, on paper at least, exuded success. Then Einfeld was caught speeding. But rather than pay a small fine, the former judge told a court that Brennan had been driving his car. In reality she had been dead for three years. This is the remarkable story of two outstanding Australians whose lives have been lived large, and who, ultimately, have been bound by tragedy.' Source: www.coop-bookshop.com.au/ (Sighted 11/10/11).
1 1 y separately published work icon Elders : Interviews with Andrew Denton Andrew Denton , Fiona Harari (editor), Sydney : ABC Books , 2010 Z1714799 2010 selected work interview

'For his ABC Television series Elders, Andrew Denton interviewed twelve diverse but well-known people over the age of 65, with the express aim of discovering what lessons they have learned in their lives and what values they have come to cherish most. The conversations were surprising, illuminating, humorous, thoughtful and candid. It was compelling television, and it makes inspiring and riveting reading. All the interviews from both series feature in this book, which also includes material that never made it to air.

'Featuring: Alan Alda, Dame Elisabeth Murdoch, Muhammad Yunus, Bob Hawke, Sir David Attenborough, Isabel Allende, Rosalie Kunoth-Monks, Clive James, Father Des Reid, Helen Thomas, Richard Dawkins and Helen Bamber.' (From the publisher's website.)
