ОписаниеPhotograph is of Zyndel Roth (right) and George Swartzberg (left) taken in 1941 most likely in the Lublin Ghetto. The subjects of this photo are the grandfather and cousin of the donor Liz Sapir and the father and nephew of Rosalie Gostin.
Following a decree on 23 November 1939, the Jewish population from 10 years old had to wear and armband with a Star of David on it. In this photograph, Zydnel is wearing such an armband on his right arm.
Following the invasion of Poland by German forced in 1939, Rosalie and Henryk Gostin along with their daughter Liz, and Rosalie’s brother Henry decided to flee from Lublin. Rosalie convinced her sister Helen Swartzberg (nee Roth) and her three-year-old son George to stay in Lublin with their father Zyndel Roth and wait for her husband to return from service. Zyndel, George and Helen were all murdered in the Holocaust.
This object is a part of a larger collection donated by Liz Sapir (formally Elizabeth/ Elzbieta) (nee Gostynski/Gostin), born 3 July 1937 in Poland. Her mother, Rosalie (Rosalia/ Rozalja) Zuinta Gostin (formally Gostynski) (nee Roth), was born 5 July 1911 in Lublin. Her father Henryk (Henry/ Hillee) Gostin (formally Gostynski), was born 15 July 1908 in Tomazow Mazowiecki, Poland. Rosalie and Henry met in Lublin following their individual studies and were married in 1934. In 1937 they had their only child, Elizabeth. In 1939, with the invasion of Poland by German forces and the outbreak of the Second World War, the family accompanied by Rosalie’s brother, Henry Roth (also known as Hirsz), fled Poland. The family travelled to the Romanian border, however bad weather and heavy security prevented them from crossing. They attempted to return to Poland with Russian troops but were only able to make it as far as Lvov where they remained from September 1939 to January 1940. From Lvov, the group travelled separately to Wilna, Lithuania. In Wilna they secured visas to Japan from the Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara. From Wilna, they went by train via the Trans-Siberian Railway, before boarding a boat to Japan, landing in Tsuruga in 1941. On 3 July 1941, they left Kobe and immigrated to Australia, arriving in Sydney 9 August 1941. Once in Australia and for the duration of the war, Henry secured a job as an Australian correspondent for two polish newspapers, ‘Nowy Swiat’ or ‘New World’ published in New York and ‘Dziennik Polski’ published in London. The family settled in Bellevue Hill in Sydney, where they remained until their death.
