"They were often called “ Bloody Balts” and told to go back to where they came from; yet this group of post-World War II immigrants from Eastern Europe helped shape modern Australia with their culture and through peaceful assimilation. Life was a hard journey but it was also a song of hope. Jayne Persian’s Beautiful Balts celebrates both." — Peter Skrzynecki OAM

"A lively, well-grounded history of postwar refugees and resettlement that makes sense of the historical and political context while offering vivid glimpses of individual lives in upheaval." — Professor Sheila Fitzpatrick, University of Sydney
