A public hearing into abuse in Melbourne’s Jewish community will bring vindication but mixed emotions when it begins, one witness says.
Manny Waks had hoped there would be no need for details to be played out in public hearings, which begin on Monday, but now concedes it’s likely the only way to bring about the changes needed.
Mr Waks will appear as a witness at this week’s hearing into abuse at Melbourne’s Yeshivah College and the Yeshivah Centre as part of the Royal Commission into Child Abuse.
“I think there’s an element of justice automatically by the very fact there is a public hearing taking place,” Mr Waks told AAP.
“I certainly feel vindicated. But it’s with mixed emotions.”
