Read their story

On the 18th February 1955 Mrs Helena Koch (widow) migrated to Australia with her family of 12 children, residing in Daglish, Western Australia. Helena had little knowledge of the English language but was able to socialize with the members of her community. Her creativity in craftwork & paintings will always be treasured.
