Janka Abrami’s Zat izz apples, sir. presents a compelling autobiographical account within the genre of migrant memoir, chronicling the author’s journey from wartime Europe to postwar Australia. Abrami illustrates the dislocation and resilience of Polish Jewish immigrants, confronting cultural dissonance, bureaucratic absurdities, and the quiet heroism of survival. She details the absurdities of assimilation with biting wit and sharp observation, capturing the fractured identity and linguistic tensions of a life rebuilt in exile. The narrative instructs readers in the emotional and psychological toll of displacement, while arguing for the dignity and complexity of migrant lives often flattened by official histories.
