Our Story

These photos are of Gluecksman’s Kosher Butcher shop in Breslau (now Wroclau, Poland) and were taken in around the year 1900. The business was operated by the family of Heinz Gluecksman until around the mid 1930’s at which time the Nazi’s banned the usage of kosher meat.

Heinz left Germany and settled in Melbourne in 1938 where he commenced employment with Batagols of Carlton and he met Benny Goldfarb. After the end of the Second World War in 1945 the two formed a partnership and Continental Kosher Butchers opened in High Street, St Kilda.

In 1957, Heinz bought out Benny and continued trading in St Kilda before re-locating the business to 155 Glenferrie Road, Malvern in 1972. Stephen A. Lewis, a great nephew of Heinz’s second wife Paula commenced working for Heinz in February 1976 and at that time the business employed only a handful of staff.

Heinz continued to own and operate the business until he passed away in November 1992 at which time Stephen became Managing Director of the company.

Maintaining family traditions, in May 2005, Stephen’s son Daniel commenced employment with the company and serves as its General

Manager.
