Family photographs in Germany, China and Seattle collected by German-Jewish immigrant Heinz Schwarz

Heinz Martin Schwarz was born on May 11, 1927 in Berlin, Germany to Walter and Elspeth (Else) Schwarz. The family lived in Weimar, Germany before moving to Gryfino (Greifenhagen in German), a small town on the Oder River in northwest Poland, in 1930. Heinz was born on the cusp of the Nazi era. He was six years old when Adolf Hitler rose to power, and he was 12 at the time the Nazis launched their bid to establish the Third Reich by attacking Poland, precipitating World War II.

In 1939, the Schwarz family fled Nazi Germany for Shanghai, China. They left behind most of their possessions, as well as relatives, including Else's 75 year old mother, "all of whom eventually became victims of the Holocaust," Heinz later wrote in his mother's obituary. The family, along with 20,000 other German and Austrian Jews found a safe haven in Shanghai. Shanghai had previously been a haven for Jewish emigrants fleeing anti-Semitic pogroms in Europe between 1843 and 1937. In the late 1930s, when many other potential havens for Jewish refugees were closing their doors, Shanghai had no entry requirements. By the end of World War II, Shanghai was home to approximately 24,000 Jews. The combination of the founding of Israel in May 1948, and then the founding Communist China in 1949 led many Jews to emigrate to Israel, the United States, and other countries.

In 1948 when they immigrated to Seattle. The family lived at 918 30th Avenue in near Lake Washington. Heinz had experience working as a clerk in a British bank in Shanghai, and continued working with numbers in Seattle. He completed a Bachelor's degree by correspondence and passed a CPA exam. Heinz continued working as an accountant to support himself and his parents. His father died in 1953 and his mother died in 1984 at age 89. Heinz Schwarz died on January 24, 2005 at age 78. He had no living family members at the time of his death, and his estate was divided among several local Jewish community organizations including the Washington State Holocaust Education Resource Center.

Includes photographs of Walter Schwarz and his family in their hometown of Vierraden, Germany, soldiers and nurses in uniform during World War I, the Jewish community in Shanghai, as well as photographs of the Schwarz house, family and friends in Seattle.

Forms part of the Washington State Jewish Archives.
