The decision was bound to come, following Germany’sdecision to resume unrestricted submarine warfare five days before, which would make all American merchant ships targets. Americ- an newspapers were saying that if the US declared war on Germany, it would fight with ‘‘whole-souledintensity’’.In Sydney, the consul-general of the United States, Mr Britten, said he had not been notified from Washington about the sev- erance of ties. All day expatriate Americans were visiting the consulate-general, many con- cerned whether they might be summoned to Washington to answer the call of the nation. A newspaper in Dusseldorf declared that Germany had ‘‘nothing to fear from America’’ if the US declared war. It would be ‘‘impossible for America to give military assistance worth mentioning’’, the paper said. Reichstag leaders asked the Chancellor, Dr Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg, whether the sinking of American ships would compensate for the disadvantage to Germany once American troops landed in Europe. Von Bethmann- Hollweg replied that though the US was capable of turning out men and materials indefinitely, it had to get them across the ocean and it would be confron- ted with a shortage of ships. The Prime Minister received a message from the Aurora, a ship used on the expedition to Ant- arctica, led by Ernest Shack- leton, who attempted to do a land crossing of the continent. The Aurora message said it had arrived at Cape Evans and relieved what was thought to be only seven survivors. On March 9, 1916,A.P. Spencer-Smith had died of scurvy and on May 8 that year, Captain Mackintosh and V.G.Hayward, crossing from Hut Point to Cape Evans, had been overtaken by a blizzard and killed. Malcolm Brown BINEM GRUNSTEIN 1921–2013 Dedicated ... Binem Grunstein took time out from his schedule every Sunday to paint. Brush helped artist survive war Red skies ... one of Grunstein’s urban scenes. His paintings are held at the Sydney Opera House and in private collections. B inem Grunstein survived World War II ‘‘miracle after miracle’’ as he was sent from one concentration camp to another: to 14 altogeth- er, including Dachau, which is believed to be a record. Grunstein survived by both his resilience and by being given odd jobs, including making aeroplane parts, drawing calli- graphy, writing sign notices and cutting bread. But mostly, Grun- stein was moved from camp to camp because of his artistic tal- ent. He was handed around by the Nazis to paint portraits, the faces of history, on canvas after canvas. Binem Grunstein was born in Warsaw on February 26, 1921, son of Herszl Grunstein and his wife, Sarah (nee Kuperman). Binem escaped the Warsaw Ghetto in 1941, after seeing most of his family members die of typhoid or just disappear. One exception was his brother Mark, who was hidden in their Warsaw apartment. Binem escaped to the countryside where he was employed and hid- den on a farm from 1942 to 1943. The farmer employed him and hid him because, in Grunstein’s own words, ‘‘I could do anything with my hands and I was a hard worker’’. Mark managed to join Binem on the farm, but only one could stay so they left together, and were captured and taken to concentration camps. As a small show of defiance, risking his life each time, Binem engraved the name of each camp he was in on to his metal cigarette box, along with the dates he was there. The box, made out of metal scraps of aeroplane parts, was shared between him and his friend Joseph Koplewicz. If it had been found by the camp officers, neither man would have survived. It is now at the US Holocaust Museum in Washington. In 1946 Grunstein fell in love with Chana (fondly known as Hania) Bornstein from Poland, whom he met in a displaced per- sons camp in Eggenfelden. She went to Sweden with her brother Jozef, however Binem and Mark were denied passage to Swedish shores so they put their names down for a number of countries that were taking displaced per- sons, and set sail for the first one to accept them. They arrived in Australia in May 1949 without a word of English or a penny in their pock- ets. Under a program that exchanged free passage to Aus- tralia for people from camps in Eastern Europe for two years of labour, Binem washed dishes for the Australian Army in Casula, where ‘‘there were so many dishes you couldn’t see me,’’ he said. During those years, Binem and Hania exchanged love let- ters until she sailed to Australia and they married at the old Central Synagogue on Edgecliff Road in 1951. They set up home in a one- bedroom flat in Bondi Junction, and soon were joined by their children Harry and Sarah, as well as Binem’s brother Mark. The home was crowded but they made the most of what they had. Continuing his dish-pig duties each day, Grunstein returned to his painting while making dres- ses on the living room floor with Hania. He also studied fashion design and art at East Sydney TechnicalCollege. ‘‘His week of managing what became a dress factory in Surry Hills was punctuated every Sunday morning, when he would leave at eight and return home by two o’clock with another com- plete painting,’’ said Sarah. Grunstein became a member of the Royal Art Society of NSW in 1968 and over the next 40 years was a teacher, fellow and director. His paintings were frequently exhibited at the Royal Art Society and the Holdsworth Galleries and are now held at the Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Conservatori- um and in private collections. Hania died on January 10, 1999, and 14 years later, Binem’s funeral was held on the same date. Binem Grunstein is survived by his children Harry and Sarah and grandchildren David, Vanessa and Simon. Zoe Ferguson Brilliant Beckett scholar waited for answers on Godot Letters ... Colin Duckworth wrote often to Samuel Beckett. COLIN DUCKWORTH 1926–2012 I t is highly likely that Colin Duckworth was the only Melbourne University professor to appear on Neighbours. He was a scholar of international renown, a writer and an actor on stage, film and television. He played the vet Tibor in Blue Heelers and had three dif- ferent roles in several seasons of Neighbours. He was also one of the most significant writers on the works of Samuel Beckett. In 1966 he edited the first critical edition of Waiting for Godot, and his long correspondence with Beckett is widely cited as answering many questions scholars and audi- ences have about one of the greatest works of modern drama. Colin Ryder Duckworth was born on July 20, 1926, on the out- skirts of Birmingham, England. He grew up during the Depression and World War II in a family in which no one had finished school, let alone gone to university. His father, Arthur Duckworth, was a salesman. His mother, Doris (nee Ryder), was a painter and played the organ to accom- pany silent films. Colin went to Moseley Grammar School, where he excelled academically and in sport. At 14, he heard on the radio two French works of music: Debussy’s Prelude a l’apres-midi d’un faune and Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloe. He swore to himself then that he would devote his life to the country that produced such beautiful music. In 1944, Duckworth was called up to the Royal Air Force, to be trained as a navigator in Bomber Command and as part of his service he attended Cambridge University.He was in the RAF until 1948. After the war he completed a BA and an MA in French and Spanish at Birmingham Uni- versity. He did brilliantly and took up a position in the English department at Montpellier Uni- versity in the south of France. In 1951, he returned to Trinity Hall on a scholarship to write his doctoral thesis on the Swiss nov- elist and philosopher Leon Bopp. At Cambridge he was involved in many productions and was president of the Cam- bridge Comedy Theatre Club. It was in the theatre world that he met, and soon married, a young chemist, Mary Adams. After completing his PhD, Duckworth got a lectureship at Bedford College at the University of London and in the early 1960s was appointed to oversee the completion of a new intercollegi- ate hall of residence for 400 stu- dents at London University, called Commonwealth Hall. In 1966-67, he was a visiting professor at the University of California. After that he became professor of French at the Uni- versity of Auckland and, in addi- tion to his academic work, he returned to the stage. In 1978, Duckworth became professor of French at the Uni- versity of Melbourne. Again he threw himself into writing, teaching and directing. He direc- ted several Australian premieres of Beckett plays at La Mama Theatre and was dramaturge for Ngundalelag Godotgai, an Aboriginal translation of Godot that was part of the Festival of Dreaming in Sydney in 1997. After retiring in 1988, in his late 70s, he started a series of dramatic adaptations of Camus, Proust, Duras and Stendhal for performances at Melbourne’s Stork Theatre, to great critical acclaim. Despite failing health, he was struggling to complete a new adaptation, based on Camus’s The Myth of Sisyphus, as recently as August. In the last few years, Duck- worth was afflicted by a rare neu- rological syndrome that left his mind as sharp as ever but sent his body into decline. He donated his brain for medical research. Colin Duckworth is survived by Mary, their children Tessa and Mark, and six grandchildren. Mark Duckworth TIMELINES smh.com.au/obituaries Twitter: @smhobits [email protected] (02) 9282 2742
