The Lucky Survivor in the Lucky Country
Join us for a moving event as David Baer shares his father Herbert's extraordinary story: a Kindertransport escape from Nazi Germany, internment on the Dunera, and a pioneering career as the first Jewish person admitted to the Melbourne Stock Exchange.

David's talk promises to be an unforgettable experience, drawing from his father's remarkable life and his own experiences following in his footsteps as a stockbroker.
