ОписаниеPhotograph of the Brandmann family standing in the entrance to Brandmann Jewellers and Watchmakers in Berlin. The family business was owned by Fritz Brandmann, born in Berlin on 25 July 1887. With his wife Charlotte he had five children, Fritz (Fred), Johanna, John (Hans), Liselotte and Eva. Fred and Hans were also watchmakers. The two Fritz's are standing together behind the women in this photograph. Charlotte stands in front of Fritz senior on the right, Liselotte in the middle and Johanna on the left. It is most likely Hans at the very back, though his face can't properly be seen.
Brandmann Jewellers was ransacked on Kristallnacht and the Brandmann family forced into hiding. Fritz, Charlotte and Eva hid in the home of the Scheffler family. Eva was friends with Else Scheffler, whose parents Karl Vick and Marie Scheffler risked their lives by hiding Jews. Fred was hidden by one of the Brandmann Jewellers employees. Hans stayed with one of his sports friends, Johanna with the Broker family and Liselotte with her friend Fritz Koblitz.
Else remembers the months that the Brandmann family stayed with them as a very painful time during which Fritz felt like a caged animal. While in hiding the family arranged their immigration to Australia. They were not allowed to take any money out of the country and all the goods in the Jewellery shop were taken away. They arrived on the Ocean Liner Narkunda in Sydney on 13 April 1939.
The family lived in Bondi and established Brandman, Expert Watchmakers and Jewellers, with premises at 89 King Street Sydney.
