Perth March 2014:

Today in Perth started off with morning tea at the State Library of Western Australia with my mining experts, historian Lenore Layman, Richard Hartley (who just completed “Westralian Founders of 20th Century Mining,”) and Peta Chappelle, whose PhD thesis on “Merton’s Reward” explored the involvement of Charles Kaufman (Ken’s Baden-born great great uncle) in the Western Australian mining boom in the 1890s. They brought me the kinds of goodies genealogists love & suggested new avenues of research. Thanks to Michelle Urban from the local JGS for arranging this & providing lunch with the effervescent Eli Rabinowitz followed by a tour of Perth.

London 2019 #1

London, June 2019

Here is a selection of my photos from the first couple of days of a six week  trip that will take me to London, Lithuania, Latvia, Israel, Belarus and Poland.

This trip will include meetings in London, commemorations in Lithuania, a seminar at the International School of Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, my presentations in Jerusalem and Ra’anana, the reunion of the Bielski Partisans in Belarus, and a visit to Warsaw, before heading home to Perth, Australia. Hopefully I will see numerous family members and friends along the way.

To give you an idea of how far away Perth is from London,  my first flight was non-stop, and 16 hours 47 minutes long!
