TitelPhotograph featuring Kuba Enoch in Switzerland
BeskrivelsePhotograph featuring survivor, Kuba (Jakob) Enoch in 1946. After his liberation at Buchenwald, Kuba enrolled for schooling at an ORT school to learn new skills and trades to assist with migration schemes out of Europe.
Kuba Enoch was born in Krakow, Poland 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 removed 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, Aushwitz-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.
