Join us at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum for the rare opportunity to hear first-hand from Holocaust survivor Abram Goldberg OAM. 

Abe was born in Lodz, Poland in 1924.

Following the Nazi invasion his family was sent to a camp near Krakow; Abe’s older sister fled east.

Abe’s and his parents escaped and return to Lodz, but two of his sisters remained in the camp.

Abe and his parents were imprisoned in Lodz Ghetto and forced to work as labourers. Abe’s father was deported in 1942 and murdered at Chelmno. In 1944 Abe and his mother were sent to Auschwitz, where his mother was gassed upon arrival.

Abe was sent to a series of camps before being liberated in 1945 in Wobbelin.

Only Abe’s older sister survived.

Abe arrived in Australia in 1951.

Join us on the 11th of August to meet Abe and learn about his experiences.
