"A Place to Call Home" -- Aussie family drama

I am addicted. Watching it on Acorn. Set in 1953, it's about an Australian nurse who has returned home from Europe after having survived a concentration camp during WWII. During the war she fell in love with a Jewish resistance fighter, married him, and converted to Judaism. (He died) Now she's back in a very Christian small Australian town and has to remake her life.

Lots of drama and heartbreak, but this heroine is so strong and so resilient, you just know she'll survive anything.
