ОписаниеPhoto of Dorrit Boehm, age 6, on the steps of the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong. Behind her, stand two young page boys who worked at the hotel. The photo was taken by Dorrit’s father, Edgar Boehm.
The Boehm family were Jewish refugees from Breslau, Germany. In 1939, Edgar and Irene Boehm, along with Irene’s mother and brother, Sylvia and Rudi Rothholz, immigrated to Shanghai, China. Six months after arriving, Sylvia died of breast cancer. In 1940, Irene and Edgar’s daughter Dorrit (also the donor of the collection) was born. The family lived in the Hongkew Ghetto, where Edgar worked as a waiter. After the war in 1946, the family immigrated to Australia.
