Jeff BOURMAN (Eastern Victoria) (10:02): I am going to rush through this, but there is a fair bit of story that I cannot tell given the time constraints. My mother-in-law Sima Garfield, born Sima Szymkiewicz on 1 September 1943, died a couple of weeks ago. She had quite a story. She was born in the woods outside of Poland for the reason that she was Jewish. Her mother, when she was pregnant with Sima, escaped Auschwitz and eventually ended up living in a cave. The reason they lived in a cave was fairly simple. If they had been caught by the Germans, they would have been killed outright. But while she was in the cave, she caught tuberculosis, tuberculosis of the lungs and the hips, which is quite rare. They were eventually captured. We are not sure who it was because it was hard to get anything out of them but probably by the Soviets because they are still alive. After the war ended, Sima ended up in a hospital in Switzerland and had to stay there for another six years after her mum came to Australia. When they eventually caught up, they were more or less strangers. Sima came to Australia, lived in Elwood, moved through her life and eventually found someone to marry called George Garfinkiel. He changed his name to Garfield because it was a bit easier. But fate was not done with Sima just yet. George died when my wife Nicole was five years old, in 1980, so Sima was left holding the baby, just about literally, for another many, many years. As time went on, Sima built quite a circle of people around her. I have known her for nearly 30 years now, and it was only in recent years that she was comfortable enough to talk to me about a lot of things. I will miss her. It is another part of the generation that way too many people pretend do not exist – the Holocaust survivors that were children. Godspeed, Sima.
