Hermann and Tina Mandel Papers
Tina Mandel was born Tony Tabak on 03/12/1905 in Kornych, Galicia. She moved to Vienna in early 1915, where she continued her education and met her future husband Hermann Mandel at school.
Hermann (Hesio) Mandel was born 20/04/1905 in Vyshnivchyk in Galicia and moved with his parents in 1916 to Vienna where he qualified as an electrician or electrical engineer (Elektromechaniker) and specialised in the design and installation of lighting systems.
After leaving school, Tina Mandel successfully completed an apprenticeship and qualified as a dressmaker. She married Hermann Mandel on 25/09/1932 in Vienna and on 31/10/1937 their only child Georg Mandel was born in Vienna.
From 1938 onwards Hermann Mandel's business became increasingly unviable due to the rising anti-Semitism in Austria. In early February he was imprisoned and sent to a road building labour camp. Tina Mandel managed to escape with her son Georg to England in 1939. Hermann Mandel was not able to obtain a visa for his escape and was deported to Minsk on 05/10/1942.
