One-month old Jewish baby Alter Heimann was separated from his parents in 1943 Nazi-controlled Amsterdam never to see them again..and yesterday he attended a ceremony at Sydney's Jewish Museum when a descendant of the Dutch family which ultimately rescued him bringing him later to start a new life in Australia received named as Righteous as the Gentiles on his grandparents' behalf.
Seventy-five years ago, the first Nazi-legislated riots against Jews took place in Germany and Austria, resulting in mass arrests, killings and deportations, and the destruction of synagogues and Jewish-owned stores.
