Leski Auctions
Art and wine auction a reflection of Australian luxury after Holocaust horror
Collecting art and wine must have seemed like a luxury to Polish Jew Martin Sachs after the horrors of the World War II German Mauthausen Labour Camp – where he was one of 500 to survive from the 5000 men and boys sent there.
Only 20 at the time he was liberated in May 1945 by United States forces, having already lost his father David at Belzec death camp in 1942 and his mother Hannah at Stutthof concentration camp three years later.
Returning to Poland, in 1948 Martin migrated to Australia where he became a successful builder and developer.

Fine Arts Auctions
A big step up from producing ladders to auctioning antiques
Not sure how much of a step up it is from manufacturing aluminium ladders to collecting antiques – however, if you ask Werner and Cecile Hecht they have had a lot of fun doing both.
Born in Munich, Werner was 21 when he moved to Australia in 1960. Cecile, who hails from Toulouse, France, migrated to Melbourne 12 years later at age 24.
Both were married with children to other partners before they teamed up and in 1980 started their step ladder business Mboss Access Ladders in the garage of their home.
