Camp Hay was an Australian internment camp near Hay, New South Wales, established in 1940 to hold civilian internees — primarily Jewish and other refugees from German-occupied Europe who had arrived in Australia aboard the HMT Dunera. The bitter irony was not lost on the internees: men who had fled Nazi persecution were classified as "enemy aliens" and imprisoned. The camp's internal scrip system was introduced to allow purchasing within the compound while preventing internees from accumulating Australian currency that could facilitate escape.
The Dunera internees included a remarkable concentration of academics, artists, and professionals, and camp life was reportedly more intellectually organized than most wartime internment.
