Czechoslovak exile in Australia subsequent to February 1948 cannot be investigated without putting it within a wider framework and providing an overview of other national groups from Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, or put more simply from behind the Iron Curtain, who also settled in the continent. Over 180 000 people from various countries of origin took it upon themselves to find their fortune on the other side of the world. In the second half of the 1940s, the vast majority of these were political refugees, exiles who refused to live under communist domination or who faced persecution. Not even the distance and a certain isolation in Australia’s international affairs would necessarily offer reliable protection. On the contrary; the Soviet Union saw it as a possible springboard for the further global spread of communism. Exiles were very sensitive to this threat, and there was no way they were going to allow Marxist ideology to penetrate further into Australian society. They founded societies and international organisations with clear anti-communist focus, published printed matter, and held demonstrations and commemorations.
