On 10 November 1938, Eduard Bonyhady was one of many Jewish men in Graz who was arrested, placed in a police prison, then sent to Dachau where Eduard became inmate 23,846, incarcerated in block 223, room 4, with other Jews from around Graz.
In this talk, Eduard’s grandson, Tim Bonyhady, will discuss how he has learned more of his family’s experience of Kristallnacht.
Professor Tim Bonyhady is an environmental lawyer and cultural historian at the Australian National University in Canberra where he is director of the Centre for Climate Law. His many books include Wohllebengasse: Die Geschichte meiner Wiener Familie, published by
Zsolnay in Vienna in 2013.
