About this event

Join us at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum for the rare opportunity to hear first-hand from Holocaust survivor Guta Goldstein. 

Guta was born in Lodz, Poland in 1930. She was nine years old when the Germans invaded Poland.

Guta, her sister, and father were forced into the Lodz Ghetto. Both her sister and father died of illness.

on 14 August 1944 Guta was transported to Auschwitz, where her aunt and cousin were sent to the gas chambers on arrival.

In September Guta and her remaining cousins were transferred to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.

Guta was eventually sent to the labour camp of Mehltheuer and was liberated by the US army in April 1945.

Guta arrived to Australia in 1949.
