ОписаниеRosh Hashanah Postcard, from Dietry, Berlin, Germany to Kuba Enoch, Australia, September 1998. They write to Enoch with good wishes for the Jewish New Year.
The postcard is a coloured black and white photographic print of two children posting their Rosh Hashanah card in a postbox. The image is taken from the Jewish Museum in Munich. In Hebrew and in English is a message wishing a happy new year.
Part of a collection of Rosh Hashanah cards sent to Kuba Enoch from friends in Germany, dating 1996 to 2016. These postcards are reproductions of 19th and early 20th century photos and drawings from private and public collections.
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, Auschwitz-Birkenau and was eventually moved to Buna camp where he remained until it was evacuated. Kuba was marched to Buchenwald. Throughout his ordeal he was never reunited with his mother.
Following liberation by U.S forces, he was sent by the Red Cross to recover in Switzerland. He arrived in Australia in 1948.
