Feliks was in the Janowska concentration camp where he and fellow inmate Leon Wells broke out on November 19, 1943. In Melbourne, he established a successful sports clothing business (Feliks Ash Industries)[2], while Martha’s artistic interests and talent for languages provided a stimulating home environment for her two girls.

Eve attended Kilvington Grammar School, followed by Shelford Girls’ Grammar and Mac.Robertson Girls High between 1965-1968. After graduating with a B.Sc.
