Moshe Dancyger, who was born into an Ultra-Orthodox Jewish family [Ger. Hasidim], and Eva Kowadlo, who came from a Traditional Jewish family, were both born in Wloclawek Poland. They managed to escape the Nazi regime in their home town and successfully adjust to life in distant Australia, arriving in the latter part of 1948.

Their story includes loss, challenges and triumphs, a family's love for one another and the fragility and fluctuating balance of life.
