About :

Marcel Weyland was born in Łódź in 1927 into the assimilated family of a Jewish manufacturer, Michał Weyland, and his wife, Estera. At the beginning of the September campaign, he fled to Vilnius with his parents, two sisters, Halina and Maryla, and his brother-in-law, Bolesław Jakubowicz, via Warsaw, Lublin, and Kowel. After the Soviets occupied the city, he began studying at a Soviet school, but the family soon decided to leave Lithuania. This was possible thanks to the activities of Chijune Sugihara, the Japanese consul in Kowno, who enabled the Weylands to obtain a transit visa, allowing them to leave the USSR and travel through Japanese territory. After a few months in the Japanese city of Kobe, the Weylands were expelled to Shanghai, where they lived in a refugee camp in Hongju until the end of the war. Michał Weyland died of cancer in Shanghai. The remaining members of the family emigrated to Australia in 1946, where Marcel Weyland studied architecture and law. He translated Adam Mickiewicz's "Pan Tadeusz" from Polish into English, and, among others, the poetry of Władysław Szlengel. He was awarded, among others, the Gloria Artis medal, the Badge of Merit for Polish Culture and the Medal of the Order of Australia. In 1952, he married the artist, Phillipa Keane. They have five children and twenty-one grandchildren. They live in Mosman, near Sydney.
