Eva Ruth de Jong-Duldig (née Duldig; born 11 February 1938) is an Austrian-born Australian and Dutch former tennis player, and current author.[3][4] From the ages of two to four, she was detained by Australia in an isolated internment camp, as an enemy alien. She later competed in tennis, representing Australia at the Wimbledon Championships in 1961. She also played at Wimbledon in 1962 and 1963 for the Netherlands, and competed in the Australian Open, French Championships, Fed Cup, and in the Israel-based Maccabiah Games, sometimes called the Jewish Olympics, where she won two gold medals.
Early life
[edit]Austria
[edit]Duldig was born in Vienna, Austria, and is Jewish.[4] Her father was modernist sculptor Karl Duldig (1902–1986). He played international soccer as a goalkeeper for Hakoah Wien, was the Austrian table tennis champion in 1923, and was one of the country's top tennis players.[3][5][6] Her mother was artist and inventor Slawa Horowitz Duldig (c. 1902–1975), who invented and patented an improved folding umbrella in 1929.[1][7][8]
Switzerland
[edit]In 1938 when she was eight months old, in the wake of deportations of Jews from Vienna to Dachau concentration camp, fleeing the Nazis the family left Austria for Switzerland.[9][7][10] The family managed to escape after Nazi Germany's Anschluss of Austria in March 1938, as her father traveled to Switzerland on a temporary visa to play in a tennis tournament. Later that year he convinced an official to allow his family to come and "visit" him in Zurich, thereby staying a step ahead of the Holocaust.[1][11][12]
Duldig later said: "We were lucky to get out with our lives. Most of our family was obliterated."[13]
Singapore; deported
[edit]The family was only allowed to stay in Switzerland for a short time.[8][10][1] They therefore then moved to Singapore by boat in April 1939.[14][13][7] There, initially her parents ran an art school and her mother restored paintings.[14][15]
In Singapore, six months after their arrival the British arrested them, because they had German identity documents.[13][1] Austria had been annexed by Germany in March 1938 in the Anschluss, and therefore the family and all other Austrians by law had become citizens of the German Reich. Across the British Empire the same laws were applied to what were deemed "aliens," and the British colonial government classified the family as "citizens of an enemy country" – "enemy aliens".[10][1][16] They were deported by boat from Singapore to Australia in September 1940.[8][10][1]
Australia; enemy alien
[edit]In Australia, in the wake of the outbreak of World War II, two-year-old Eva and her parents were classified as enemy aliens upon their arrival due to their having arrived with German identity papers.[17][18][8] Beginning the year prior to their arrival in Australia, a new Australian law had designated people "enemy aliens" if they were Germans, or were Australians who had been born in Germany.[19] The Australian government therefore interned the three of them for two years in isolated Tatura Internment Camp 3 D, 180 kilometres north of Melbourne.[20][14][11] They were held with nearly 300 other internees.[21]
The internment camp was located near Shepparton, in the northern part of the state of Victoria.[17][10][8] There, armed soldiers manned watchtowers and scanned the camp that was bordered by a barbed wire fence with searchlights, and other armed soldiers patrolled the camp.[1] Petitions to Australian politicians, stressing that they were Jewish refugees and therefore being unjustly imprisoned, had no effect.[1]
They remained in the internment camp until 1942, when her father enlisted in the Australian Army.[8][1] The family later lived in St Kilda, in Glen Iris, and then in Malvern East, in Melbourne, Australia, and became Australian citizens.[13][12][1]
Duldig graduated from Melbourne University in Australia (GDip Physical Education 1957, BA 1971).[18][20][22] She took a role as physical education teacher in 1957 at Mount Scopus College, a Jewish day school in Melbourne.[18][20][12]

Duldig also represented Australia at the 1961 Wimbledon Championships in ladies' doubles, reaching the quarterfinals with partner Marlene Gerson, where they were defeated by American Sally Moore and Australian Lesley Turner.[18][4]
In 1962 at Wimbledon, representing the Netherlands, in women's singles she beat Lea Pericoli of Italy in Round 2, but was defeated by #2 seeded American Darlene Hard in Round 3.[2] Playing in women's doubles with partner Jenny Ridderhof-Seven of the Netherlands, in Round 2 they defeated West Germans Renate Ostermann and Helga Schultze, while in Round 3 they were defeated by South Africans Valerie Forbes and Heather Segal. Playing in mixed doubles with partner Willem Maris of the Netherlands, in Round 1 they defeated Australian Jim Shepherd and South African Heather Segal, and in Round 2 they were beaten by Billy Knight and Jean Knight of the United Kingdom.[30]
In 1963 at Wimbledon, again representing the Netherlands, in women's singles she beat Hungary Zsófia Broszmann of Hungary in the round of 64, but was defeated by Elizabeth Starkie of Great Britain in the round of 32.[2] Playing in women's doubles with partner Jenny Ridderhof-Seven, in Round 1 they beat Canadian Hanna Sladek and Jenny Wagstaff of the United Kingdom, in round 2 they defeated American Judy Alvarez and Australian Carole Newman, and in Round 3 they were defeated by South Africans Margaret Hunt and Annette Van Zyl. Playing in mixed doubles with partner Willem Maris of the Netherlands, in Round 2 they defeated South Africans Tony Hagan and CM Callanan, and in Round 3 they were beaten by West Germany Wilhelm Bungert and South African Renée Schuurman.[31]

She was the highest-ranked female player for the Netherlands in the first Federation Cup, held in 1957 at Queens Club.[12][33] In June 1963 she played in the 1963 Federation Cup against Switzerland, defeating Alice Wavre in singles, and winning in doubles against Janine Bourgnon and Anne-Marie Studer with her partner Jenny Ridderhof.[34] That same month she played in the Fed Cup against the United States, and was defeated by Darlene Hard in singles, and by Billie Jean Moffitt (King) and Carole Caldwell, while partnering Jenny Ridderhof, in the quarter-final.[12][33]

They were married for 57 years until his death in 2019.[38][32][37]
Her daughter, Tania de Jong, is an Australian soprano, social entrepreneur, and businesswoman.[39][38] In 1965, the family returned to Melbourne, and after she gave birth to two more children, Antony and Pieter, Duldig found it challenging to maintain her tennis.[12][38] After her tennis career, she worked as a recreation consultant, an author, and a designer of playgrounds.[12]

Her memoir was made into a musical in 2022, entitled Driftwood – The Musical, directed by Wesley Enoch.[8][32] Her daughter Tania wrote some of the lyrics.[43] Australian Broadcasting Corporation wrote that the musical "is a remarkable story".[44] The Australian Jewish News wrote: "there's no shortage of drama, heartache and lucky escape."[45] Limelight wrote that the musical was "sincere to a fault."[46] The Age wrote: "Director Gary Abrahams keeps the story's emotional core vivid and convincing and Anthony Barnhill's score suits the material well. The singing is excellent.... this show has heart."[47]
