Dr Tony Bernard from the Northern Beaches, Sydney Australia, discusses his recently published book, The Ghost Tattoo, a true story of his father, Henry Bernard’s life. Henry was a respected and hard working doctor on the Northern Beaches, from 1956 until 2002, however few of his patients, the local community or his family for that matter, knew anything of his tragic past. It wasn't until Henry saw the movie, Schindler's List, written by fellow Australian, Thomas Keneally, that Henry began to share his story. Henry was born in Poland in 1920’s, he was Jewish. In 1939 the Holocaust commenced, and Henry and his family lives changed forever.
