Helen Bierzynski-Burnett (nee Rachela Birnbach), was born in Dusseldorf, Germany in 1925. She survived the Holocaust in Tarnov, Poland. Leslie remembers the candlestick displayed "nicely polished" in the centre of their Sydney home sideboard. The piece is one of the few surviving pre-war possessions.
