Holocaust to be remembered in new Tasmanian education centre
Launceston man Felix Goldschmied moved to Australia when he was nine years old, with his six-year-old brother.
Key points:
- A new centre remembering the Holocaust will be developed in Tasmania
- The centre will offer education and interpretation for school groups, as well as the general public
- The federal government will contribute two million dollars to the centre and the state government will also provide funding
He is one of just a handful of Holocaust survivors left in Tasmania.
“We came in a Jewish transport and were placed in a children’s home,” he said.
“My time during the Holocaust was not very nice, my relatives were all murdered, went to Auschwitz concentration camp, and my father was interred in a concentration camp.
