Abstract: Hans Bandler was a Holocaust survivor, engineer, and activist who witnessed two major historical struggles: the fight against Nazism in Europe and the campaign for Indigenous rights in Australia. After enduring persecution and imprisonment, he emigrated to Australia. He studied for a Diploma in Civil Engineering, worked for the Hydro-Electricity Commission in Tasmania, before joining the Sydney Water Board, where he contributed to engineering projects such as the Warragamba Dam. He became a ardent environmentalist, taking a postgraduate course in environmental science and a Master of Science degree. He published on environmental engineering, and lectured internationally. His life exemplified resilience, advocacy for justice, and dedication to conservation.
