- ADMINISTRATIVE/ BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY
Heinz Werner Bohm was born in Duisburg, Germany in 1922. His family were Ostjuden from Eastern Europe. After the Nuremberg Laws were passed in Germany in 1935 life changed with the many restrictions which were imposed on Jews. Heinz was arrested on 9 November 1938 and spent a week in prison. On his release he found his home had been destroyed, his mother was sick, his father had been taken to Dachau and his brother to Holland. Heinz was sent on a children's transport to Holland in 1939. He left Holland in 1943 and went to Belgium then to Switzerland. There he was interned in a prison camp, held separately from criminals in the camp, and was subsequently sent to various refugee camps. Heinz was granted a scholarship to university and studied in Basle between 1944 and 1948. He then went to Munich, Germany, but felt uncomfortable there and immigrated to Australia in 1951. - Copying ConditionsIn copyright:
