ОписаниеThis is a two page list of applicants that Hans Chalmers is trying to bring to Australia to establish a Viennese knitwear factory. Below each person’s name is a description of their skills in the area.
In 1938 Hans Charmatz was able to leave Austria for London. From there, he set about trying to help friends from his Zionist Club in Vienna to leave the country. Hans developed a plan to establish a knitwear factory in Australia, arguing that he needed skilled workers from Austria. He wrote to the Australian government requesting immigration permits for 20 "specialists" and their families. His bold plan was successful and was responsible for saving the lives of 20 of his friends and their families.
