A Spoonful of Soup

Gary Gray was born in Sosnowiec, Poland as Gustav Josef Gracjar.  His parents and  younger sister were liquidated in Auschwitz in 1943.  Gary was imprisoned as a teenager by the Nazis in April 1942 and liberated in May 1945, after being sent to several slave-labour and concentration camps.  In 1958 by some miraculous sequence of events, he was found by his two aunts who were living in Melbourne, and finally in 1959 he arrived in Australia.  In 1986 he began recording his war experiences as a legacy for his three daughters.
