The HMT Dunera was the ship that took over 2,000 Jewish refugees and prisoners of war in 1940 from England to Hay, New South Wales, Australia for internment. [1] Many of the internees, including those who fled Europe to escape the persecution of the Nazis, were thought to have been agents of Germany and were helping to plan the invasion of England. The interned citizens were subsequently released by the Australian government in 1942. The television movie The Dunera Boys depicts their ordeal. [2]
