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.

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.
