Biography

In 1949, Andor fled the Communists with his wife and 14-month old chld Morry. Penniless, they moved to Israel, where they were able to accumulate savings, but they were forced by Israeli law to leave their new nest egg behind when they chose to emigrate. They landed in Melbourne, Australia in September 1958.
