НазваниеOfficial document for the Surname change of Simon Adamek
ОписаниеOfficial document confirming the change of surname for the Aftergut family to Adamek in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia on 1 December 1947. This applied to Simon, Eva and their son, Edwin.
Simon and Eva married in Bratislava in 1939. In 1941, Simon was able to escape Sered after Eva bribed a guard for his release. The couple returned to Bratislava, living with false papers under the name 'Adamek' and religion as Catholicism. After a warning by neighbours that the Gestapo had returned to their house, the couple as well as Eva's parents, fled to Budapest. They continued to live as Catholics for the duration of the war.
In 1947, Simon changed his name to Adamek. He also requested to change his name from Simon to Stefan, but this was denied.
The family received their visa to travel to Australia in mid-1949 and booked passage on the Sebastian Cabota to Sydney. Sponsored by JOINT, the family were able to establish themselves in Sydney by August 1949. The family moved throughout Sydney before settling in at Bondi and establishing a manufacturing business, Hilltop fashions.
