Meet our featured survivors

Symcha Binem (Bono) Wiener

Born in Lodz, Poland, Bono was one of the MHM’s founders and a co-president. During the war, Bono was incarcerated in the Lodz Ghetto, where both his parents perished. When it was liquidated, he was sent to the Mauthausen and Gusen labour camps. After liberation, Bono reunited with his brother, Pinches, and they both immigrated to Australia in 1950. Bono became a successful businessman and continued his political activism and community leadership in Melbourne. He also served as President of the Bund and Director of the Jewish Welfare Society – and a founder of Sholem Aleichem School.
