Hello Australia: A Memoir
By Sam Moshinsky
Published by Real Publishing: Australia 2023 1st Edition
Inscribed by Author

"Hello Australia: A Memoir by Sam Moshinsky is a reflective and deeply personal account of migration, belonging, and identity, tracing the author's journey from wartime Shanghai to post-war Melbourne. Arriving in Australia in 1951 as a seventeen-year-old, Moshinsky writes with clarity and restraint about the cultural dislocation of migration, the pressures of responsibility borne at a young age, and the gradual process of building a life in an unfamiliar country. The narrative moves from early struggles with language, work, and social adjustment to education, professional achievement, and sustained involvement in communal and philanthropic life, offering a grounded portrait of migrant experience in twentieth-century Australia.

Published in this 2023 first edition by Real Publishing, the memoir is enriched by family photographs and a carefully structured chronology that places personal memory within broader social and historical contexts. Moshinsky's tone is measured and humane, avoiding sentimentality while conveying resilience, gratitude, and moral purpose, particularly in his reflections on community institutions, faith, and service. This copy is further distinguished by a warm authorial inscription dated Melbourne, May 30, 2023, adding a personal and collectable dimension to the volume, and would appeal especially to readers of Australian social history, Jewish diaspora studies, and collectors of inscribed contemporary memoirs."
