Australian descendants of six persons who rescued Jews during the Holocaust, were introduced to descendants and members of Australian Jewish families of those they rescued, in a moving opening to a special exhibition at the Sydney Jewish Museum, prepared by the museum and the Yad Vashem Shoah Museum in Jerusalem, called I Am My Brothers Keeper, last week. An exhibition called Witnesses and Survivors, was opened at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, curated by the memorial and the Melbourne Jewish Holocaust Centre and features the stories of Holocaust survivors, who settled in Australia after the war, as well as the sketches by Australias official WWII artist Allan Moore, who accompanied British troops during their liberation of the Bergen Belsen concentration camp in Germany. The highly decorated and experienced Australian Major-General Simon Stuart will take over the command of the Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) in the Sinai Desert, which has kept the peace between Israel and Egypt since the signing of the Camp David Peace Accords in 1978 and which now faces increasing challenges from the insurgents acting on behalf of the Islamic State and other extremist organizations in the region.  )
