This passenger list contains individuals and families that migrated to Australia after World War II from various European Countries including Germany, Hungary, Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, etc. Most passengers are World War II refugees or displaced persons.It is believed that this transcription only lists those who disembarked in Fremantle, since the ship carried hundreds more passengers. As we receive information about other passengers who are believed to have been aboard this ship, we have included them at the end of this passenger list.
The source was most likely the records in the National Archives of Australia's Perth collection.
