In the immediate postwar period Jewish communities worldwide sought to draw political lessons from the events of the Holocaust, the rise of fascism and the Second World War. A distinctive popular Jewish left antifascist politics developed as a way of memorialising the Holocaust, struggling against antisemitism and developing anti-racist and anti-assimilationist Jewish cultures. This article looks at the trilingual magazine Jewish Youth, published in Melbourne in the 1940s in English, Yiddish and Hebrew, as a prism through which to examine Jewish antifascist culture in Australia. Jewish Youth featured an oppositional political stance against antisemitism and fascism, tied often to Holocaust memorialisation; a conscious political and cultural minoritarianism and resistance to assimilation; and a certain fluctuating multilingualism, tied to its transnational situatedness and plurality of audiences.

在刚刚结束的战后时期，全世界的犹太社区试图从大屠杀、法西斯主义的兴起和第二次世界大战的事件中吸取政治教训。一种独特的流行的犹太左翼反法西斯政治发展成为纪念大屠杀、与反犹太主义作斗争以及发展反种族主义和反同化主义犹太文化的一种方式。本文着眼于 1940 年代在墨尔本以英语、意第绪语和希伯来语出版的三种语言杂志《犹太青年》，以此作为审视澳大利亚犹太反法西斯文化的棱镜。犹太青年具有反对反犹太主义和法西斯主义的反对政治立场，通常与大屠杀纪念联系在一起；有意识的政治和文化少数主义和对同化的抵抗；以及某种波动的多语言现象，与其跨国情境和受众多元化有关。
