Eugene Masszauer was born in 1905 in Hungary. As a result of World War II in Europe, he fled Hungary and was relocated by The United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) in occupied Germany before emigrating to Australia in 1950. He was then sent to a internment camp in Bathurst, later granted permanent residency and became a naturalised Australian citizen in 1952. Masszauer then moved to Sydney where he studied and worked as an electrical engineer and contractor. Eugene Masszauer was interviewed and recorded as part of the oral history 'Thirty Years After Project' in 1981.
