Abstract
Research Background: This work is part of a larger inquiry that casts its gaze 4 on human geographies and diaspora, particularly post war migrations in Australia and the contemporary mass migrations in recent times from the MENA regions. Yet deeper than these surface concerns are the trauma and loss migrants and their children suffer, with the invisible wounds that resonate through histories and historicities.
Research Background and Significance (Written as a narrative): I offer the following as poetic and memorial vignettes of belonging and not belonging as a daughter of Hungarian refugees, who migrated during the postwar period. WW2 was a time of trauma and tragedy, and it gives context not only to my parents’ migrations, but also to the emotional and psychological contexts they brought with them to Australia, to their subsequent lives, to their parenting and subsequently, to their children.
