DescriptionThis photo is indicative of personal memory and showcases the re-emergence of life in Australia for Denis Frederick Carver (born Fritz Schnitzer) and Gertrude Carver (nee Elter), both Viennese Jews. This personal photo is evocative and warm-hearted, a snapshot into ‘site seeing’ of a famous Australian heritage site.
The reverse of the photo is inscribed with a note with both English and German: ‘Wentworth Falls - October 1947” and goes on to list the names of the group in the photograph.
This photo is significant in its ability to communicate power of the human spirit in starting a new life in Australia after experiencing a difficult past.
