TitreBlue Mountains 1
DescriptionThis photo is indicative of personal memory and showcases the re-emergence of life in Australia for Denis Frederick Carver (born Fritz Schnitzer) and Gertrude Carver (nee Elter), both Viennese Jews. This personal photo is evocative and warm-hearted, a snapshot into ‘site seeing’ of a famous Australian heritage site.
The image depicts Carver, his wife Gertrude and a (unknown) friend posing in front of a look out in Katoomba, the Blue Mountains in October 1947.
The reverse of the photo is inscribed with a witty remark “the smart guy in the middle is me” in German.
This photo is significant in its ability to communicate power of the human spirit in starting a new life in Australia after experiencing a difficult past.
