Karl Westphal came to Australia when he was only 9 years old, and, most importantly, he has never been back to his native Germany. 60 years on, he is looking for fellow passengers who also travelled von the MV Fairsea from Cuxhaven to Melbourne in 1956.


Do you know somebody who also arrived in Australia in 1956, and who took the same route on the MV Fairsea? Get in contact via email: german.program@sbs.com.au
