Von Königsberg nach Melbourne
註釋Memoirs of a German, born in 1920 in Königsberg, Prussia, whose Jewish father converted in 1902 to Christianity. Radok and his brothers hardly knew what a Jew was until the mid-1930s. In 1938 he enrolled in the Technische Hochschule in München, but as a "Mischling" he had to wait until one day before the beginning of the semester to be admitted under restricted conditions. The family began to plan emigration. In summer 1939 Radok left Germany for London, where two of his brothers had found work already. After the German invasion of Poland the three brothers found refuge temporarily in Middlesborough, but from 23 September they were interned in several camps as alien enemies and then deported on the British prisoner ship "Dunera" to Australia, where they were interned again. Their parents and one sister emigrated to the USA in February 1941. Radok was released after 962 days of internment, on 12 May 1942.
