DescriptionRosh Hashanah Postcard, from Dietry, Berlin, Germany to Kitty and Kuba Enoch, Australia, September 2003. They write to the Enochs with good wishes for the Jewish New Year in German. The image on the postcard is a photograph from the first half of the 20th century and is divided into three tableaus. From left to right; two women listen on a listening device, a street scene, and a young man speaking into microphone. In the left and right corners are inset captions in Hebrew. The image is taken from the collection of Hayim Shtayer, Haifa.
Part of a collection of Rosh Hashanah postcards sent to Kuba Enoch from friends in Germany, dating from 1996 to 2016. They are reproductions of 19th and early 20th century photos and drawings of Jews depicted celebrating the Jewish New Year.
Kuba was born in Krakow, Poland, in 1926. He was 13 years old when the war began; soon after, he and his family were rounded up into Krakow ghetto. When it was liquidated in 1943, Kuba's younger brother was taken away, never to be seen again, and his parents were sent to Plaszow concentration camp. Hoping to locate his mother, Kuba volunteered to go on the next transport. He was sent to Ostrowiec, Auschwitz-Birkenau and was eventually moved to Buna camp where he remained until it was evacuated. Kuba was then marched to Buchenwald. Throughout his ordeal he was never reunited with his mother.
Following liberation by U.S forces, Kuba was sent by the Red Cross to recover in Switzerland. He arrived in Australia in 1948.
