  • Jews of the Outback: Jewish Settlement in Broken Hill Abstract
    Jews of the Outback: Jewish Settlement in Broken Hill Katherine Mannix, B.Th. (CIS) Candidate, Master of Arts (Research) School of Arts, Department of Hebrew, Biblical and Jewish Studies University of Sydney, 31 December 2016 Declaration I declare that the following thesis contains no material that has been accepted for the award of any other degree in any university and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made in the text of the thesis. Katherine Mannix, B.Th. (CIS) ii Acknowledgements The author would like to acknowledge three special women: Margaret Price, Broken Hill Historical Society historian and a former ‘Dryens’ girl’, whose singular recognition of the importance of the Jews of Broken Hill initiated this study; Emerita Professor Suzanne D. Rutland, who is as generous as she is expert in Australian Jewish history, and Dr Rachil K. Schper (1917-2008) doctor, Holocaust survivor, and neighbour, who exemplified the wit and wisdom of Judaism and shared it, at just the right time. iii Katherine Mannix MA (research) candidate, Department of Hebrew, Biblical and Jewish Studies, University of Sydney Jews of the Outback: Jewish Settlement in Broken Hill Abstract In the late nineteenth century, Jews from the Russian Empire immigrated to the new world in great numbers. A small but significant community was established in the silver rush town of Broken Hill. Broken Hill – a European city in the middle of the desert – suited the Jews who came there. Within five years of its discovery in 1883, Broken Hill was producing more silver, lead and zinc (and royalties for government) than any other mine in the world.
