Description: | This portrait of Martin Teich-Birken and Frieda Munz was taken by the eminent East End photographer Boris Bennett a few days after their wedding, which included separate civil and Jewish ceremonies. Martin Teich-Birken was from a Polish family who settled in Germany when he was 5 years old. He came to Britain in 1939 as a refugee, arriving just a few days before the outbreak of World War II. His brother and sisters also succeeded in leaving Germany, but his parents both died in a concentration camp. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Copyright: Martin Teich-Birken | Subjects: | Migration and Citizenship Communities | Temporal: | 1944-08 | Source: | Jewish Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
