DescrizioneCollection of 20 hand made bow ties made by Ida Wolff in her Sydney home during the 1960's. .
Ida Wolff (nee Dunkel) was born in 1913 in Czechoslovakia. She was deported to Auschwitz in 1944. In Auschwitz she gave her date of birth as 1920, seven years younger to increase her chances of survival. Ida survived as a slave labourer in the Telefunken factory doing mending jobs for extra bread.
After liberation Ida took free sewing classes with a Jewish organisation that trained Holocaust survivors for work placements. She and her husband came to Australia in 1952 and lived in a flat in Gould Street, Bondi. Another tenant, Mr Marshall, had a contact with a shop in Elizabeth Street which sold ties. Ida bought a sewing machine and with her sister Margaret earned extra money sewing men’s and boy’s bowties at her kitchen table.
