Hear a Witness: Paul Grinwald

Join us at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum for a rare opportunity to hear first-hand from Holocaust survivor Paul Grinwald.

Paul was born in Paris in 1933, he was 7 years old when the Nazis occupied Paris. 

Paul and his family moved to the unoccupied part of France and he and his sister were sent to work on various farms pretending to be Christians. His scariest time was when he was separated from his parents and he didn’t know if they were alive. There were many kind people who assisted Paul and his family during their ordeal, without whom they likely would not have survived.

Paul and his sister were reunited with their parents and moved back to Paris in 1945.

Paul arrived in Australia with his family in 1949.

Join us on the 30th of March to meet Paul and learn about his experiences.
