Abstract

This article continues the focus on German-Australian militarised modernities through the Second World War to the present day. It draws on the author's own family history, beginning with the memories evoked by her grandparents' house in northern Sydney, built between 1950 and 1953. Named Gorgobad', Persian for place of the wolves', it resonates with a family history that involves German colonial investments in post-First World War Iran, the global geopolitical upheavals of the Second World War, which drew her family into separate histories of refuge, British imprisonment and deportation and, finally, building a new home in Australia. The essay asks pertinent questions about the entanglement of hegemonic racialised orders in Europe with the very racialised orders of the grounds on which Gorgobad was built.
