THE POLITICAL IS PERSONAL, A 20th CENTURY MEMOIR
JUDITH BUCKRICH
18 MARCH 2017
An audience of 40 members welcomed and were enthralled by the extraordinary life lived by this independent, determined woman which began in the mid-20th and continues today.
Judith Buckrich was born in Hungary of a communist father and a Jewish mother who had suffered and eventually escaped the Nazi terror of Auschwitz.
She ended up in Australia in a society that encouraged her independence and a determination to right all political wrongs, espouse women’s liberation, marry, have a child then continue at the same time to write plays, act on stage and latterly to write books. At last count 13 published and the 14th, a history of Acland Street about to be released.
As some one said to me afterwards – “..she made me feel very inadequate. I am in awe of her energy”.
