Abstract

- Magda Hellinger Clockwise from left: Béla and Magda both lived into the 21st century; their daughter Maya today; Magda at the memorial plaque for Dr Adélaïde Hautval, one of the Auschwitz prisoner-doctors she stayed in touch with. Up front Exclusive On a cold early spring morning in March 1942, Magda Hellinger's kindergarten was its usual hive of activity, parents dropping their children, hanging bags and removing thick, snow-dusted coats. After Maya and Eva were born, the family moved to Israel and then to Australia in 1956, where Magda and Béla built new, full lives. Hidden past Maya Lee is the daughter of two Holocaust survivors, Magda Blau, née Hellinger, and Béla Blau. [Extracted from the article]
