Joachim Schneeweiss A. M., b. 1927, Hanover, Germany. Immigrated to Australia 1939.

“Life in Germany prior to the advent of the Nazis was full of richness; full of cultural and historical tradition; full of Jewishness. It was altogether a most important element of world Jewry and all this was to be destroyed in the vengeful, murderous excesses of the Nazis who declared war on the Jewish people at Kristallnacht, ultimately leading to the death chambers of Treblinka and Auschwitz.”
