Tensions between Protestants and Catholics persisted throughout nineteenth-century Australia. Historians have tended to examine the part played by the clergy, pressure groups or newspapers in sectarian disputes in the main colonies of New South Wales …
<span class=“paragraphSection“>This article examines Holocaust survival in general and inner states and temporality in particular in the study <span style=“font-style:italic;“>Theresienstadt 1941–1945</span> (1955) and the novel <span style=“font-style:italic;“>The Journey</span> (1962) by the poet, novelist, and scholar H. G. Adler, a survivor of the Theresienstadt ghetto and several camps. The article shows that the moment of survival is a key juncture in both texts, as their respective representations are intertwined by overarching reflections on the implications and significance of the Holocaust, and as they conflate the experiences of the survivors, the destruction that they witnessed, and the hope they felt after liberation. Adler’s complementary narratives reach, however, far beyond the description of facts; above all, they focus on a moment of transition unfolding in the individual survivor from ‘nothing’, an inner state resulting from the devastating experiences of the Holocaust, to ‘something’, an uncertain new beginning. The article investigates the different layers of meaning suggested by the central yet elusive terms ‘nothing’ and ‘something’, which link both texts. It analyses the biblical references used by Adler and examines the limits of narrativization. Drawing on the insights of Holocaust studies, this article emphasizes the importance of Adler’s genre-bending, and, compared with other contemporary narratives, very unusual texts, which seek to understand the Holocaust primarily through a short moment in time, namely the moment of survival. In this sense, Adler’s texts suggest new and distinct modes of representing the Holocaust.</span>

Historians have scrutinised the racial classifications of Arab immigrants in the census, in immigration documents and in early-twentieth-century naturalisation cases. However, recent scholarship has shown that other archives – ones that do not focus …
