Abstract
Dreyfus's surprise - 'I was absolutely startled' (25) - at her discovery of the Weintraubs Syncopators' connection to Australia, mirrors my own surprise as I began my Dreyfus-led journey through the Weintraubs' experiences. I knew about other refugee-based additions to Australia's cultural scene - Richard Goldner and Musica Viva, Felix Werder, Borovansky Ballet, and many more. However, I had not previously encountered this group with its memorable name that so appropriately evokes different beats and rhythms - appropriate both for the music and acts performed by the group, and for the content and structure of the book.
