Who was I with my fifth generation Australian heritage and not one relative killed in the Holocaust?' - Andrea Goldsmith, 'Only Connect: Musings of an Australian Jew' ENOUGH ALREADY celebrates the emergence in Australia of a number of significant Jewish writers over the past decade. Among them: Lily Brett, Bernard Cohen, Tobsha Learner and Arnold Zable. Born post-war, they focus on concerns and themes far different from those of their predecessors. Some, like Andrea Goldsmith, delve into issues of identity; others focus on issues not particularly Jewish. But as a group hey enhance a rich Jewish tradition in this country, one that embraces such luminaries as Judah Waten, Nancy Keesing, Fay Zwicky and Morris Lurie.
