From Sydney to Melbourne
From Sydney, the family traveled by train to Shepparton where they
lived with Feiga and Nachum Rosenbaum for about 12 months, first
working with their son Joel in the orchard, and then helping
collect scrap iron to be sold in Japan. |

In late 1938, Eliezer's family moved
to Melbourne. At first they lived in Carlton, where Norman
attended the Lee Street School. After a few months, the
family moved to Glenferrie Road, Malvern, where Eliezer
opened his first Australian business: a fruit shop. There,
during WWII he had to display a sign stating that enemy
aliens owned the store. |

During this period, Eliezer taught himself
English by reading newspapers and copying the words in the
newspaper margins. To help him remember, he would compile long
lists of English words, which he would keep on hand to refer to.
In 1950, Eliezer sold his fruit shop and
bought a café on Elizabeth St, near Franklin Street, Melbourne.
Later he sold that café and bought another similar business
further along Elizabeth Street, near Lonsdale Street, which he ran
until he retired in 1961. |
