Series identifierMON1369Series titleResearch papers relating to Sir John Monash, his family and associatesSeries descriptionThis series contains Dr Ann Mitchell’s research papers on Sir John Monash, his family, and his associates. The papers do not contain much about Monash’s military career, but rather focuses on his domestic life, his parents, sister, wife, daughter, and his relationship with Lizette Bentwich. Papers relating to the relationship between Monash and Lizette Bentwich can be found in this series, while other research papers on Lizette Bentwich alone and her family can be found in MON1385. Papers on Agnes Patterson, the painter of the double portrait miniature are also in this series. This series also includes Dr Mitchell’s extensive research into Monash/Monasch family history and genealogy, extending back to Sir John’s grandfather Bar Loeb (Baer Loebel) Monasch. A large family tree can be found in Item 172 (Monash-Sudfeld family tree by Michael Landman). Family names (aside from John Monash) and topics that are most represented in this series include (but not limited to): Dutch Monasches, Monasches and the Holocaust, Bar Loeb Monasch, Behrend, Rosenhain, Walter Monasch, and Krotoszyn in Poland.
